"We decided to prolong the mission until mid-November," he said.

According to him, the European Parliament will return to this issue in mid-November, particularly in the context of finding a solution to the case of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko ahead of the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius, at which the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement is to be signed.
