"We think Ukraine is making a tremendous effort and is a good friend of the European Union," Solana said after lunch at the president-elect's home.
 

EU membership, he said, was "a possibility for the Ukrainian people. You have to do the job. You have to have the energy and the mobilization of the country, the reforms necessary to get as close as possible to Europe. Nothing is impossible for Ukraine."
