MOSCOW, April 20 (RIA Novosti) - Russia and the European Union will sign agreements on easing visa regulations and on readmission at a summit at a Black Sea resort May 25, the president's aide said Thursday.

"In Sochi on May 25, we plan to sign two agreements, which are already ready," said Sergei Yastrzhembsky, who oversees relations with the EU.

The agreements would see Russia and the EU relax visa requirements for certain categories of people for stays of up to 90 days, and take additional measures to prevent illegal migration.

On readmission, Russia would pledge to readmit Russian citizens and citizens of third countries who entered the EU illegally from Russia.
