VP: Türkiye works to meet EU visa criteria
Flags of Türkiye and the European Union are seen ahead of a meeting.
Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz said on Aug. 8 that Türkiye has launched work on six remaining criteria required for visa-free travel to the European Union, calling for greater political commitment from the bloc to advance the long-delayed process.
Yılmaz said government agencies had begun coordinating on the outstanding requirements, with particular attention being paid to personal data protection, the readmission agreement and the definition of terrorism.
He said the justice, interior and foreign ministries had held meetings as part of the work and that a scientific committee had reviewed legislation on personal data protection.
