KYIV. Jan 21 (Interfax) - European Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule will visit Kyiv on January 24-25, his spokesperson Peter Stano told Interfax.

Fule is going to meet with representatives from the authorities and the opposition, as well as civil society activists, he said.

The situation in Kyiv exacerbated last Sunday after clashes between law enforcement officers and the radically-minded opposition activists on Hrushevsky Street in the city center. Sticks, batons, and Molotov cocktails were used. Several dozen policemen were hospitalized with various injuries.
