Europe-Ukraine Forum – 13-14 March 2018

13–14 March 2018

Exhibition Hall – G2A Arena Jasionka, Rzeszów, Poland

Association and What’s Next? – the focus of this years 11th Europe – Ukraine Forum will be on economic modernization and reforms.

In 2017, the Association Agreement was ratified. Regardless of the crisis – the war and Russian occupation of Crimea and some part of Ukrainian Donbas – we can see some symptoms of economic recovery. The economic and political cooperation with western countries has become very active. However, the poorly visible effects of reform, deepening political divisions, instability of the economy and widespread neediness cause increasing dissatisfaction in society. In 2018 there is still the question whether Ukraine will use the opportunities created by cooperation with the EU. What steps should be taken next by Kiev and its European partners to ensure the country’s constant development and integration with the West?
