Summary/Abstract: In 2005-2006 Ukraine achieved progress in its relations with the European Union. In the political sphere it held fair and democratic parliamentary elections on March 26, 2006. In the economic sphere it completed the adjustment of national laws according to the WTO standards. In the field of foreign policy it aligned itself with EU positions in most of critical international issues, and actively cooperated with the Republic of Moldova in customs and border-related matters. At the same time, prospects look uncertain, as parties have different conceptual approaches to further relations, including new enhanced agreement to be concluded.
