In the focus of attention is cooperation between Ukraine and the European Union in the management of migration processes and certain recommendations, implementation of which would help to improve Ukraine's migration policy in compliance with European standards. The recommendations are worked out in terms of the perspective of abolition of the visa regime for Ukrainians, deepening the relations with various countries of the EU as a result of the association, which will inevitably intensify cross-border mobility in the western direction. The article places importance on the need for implementation of the acquis communautaire in the subsequent integration of Ukraine with the EU.
