The trilateral meeting of the Association of Kiev and the European Union in Brussels was held in a "positive way," Russian Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukaev stated in Brussels, Monday. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, his Ukrainian counterpart Pavlo Klimkin and the Trade Commissioner of the EU Cecilia Malmstrom will give mandates to experts from three sides to begin to work on a draft agreement, taking into account the concerns of the Russian side. Ulyukaev said that Russia has hope and there is a chance that the country will get what it wants, but he also expressed doubt this would happen. The results of the work under the agreement of the Association of Kiev and the EU will be considered during the next meeting of ministers in the beginning of November.
