BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – Demchyshyn told reporters in Brussels to wait a few hours to get any positive news.

“We were expecting [to sign an agreement] the past few times, so you understand that this is a philosophical process, but [an agreement will be reached] absolutely,” Demchyshyn told journalists ahead of the trilateral talks.

“Wait for just a few more hours and we will absolutely come to you and tell you the details of what, how and for what timeframe,” Demchyshyn added.
