Europe-Ukraine Forum starts in southern Poland

Almost 1,000 participants from over a dozen countries are taking part in the 12th Europe-Ukraine Forum, which started in Jasionka, near Rzeszow (south-east Poland), on Thursday. The two-day forum is being held under the motto 'Ukraine After 2019. A Change or a Continuation.' It is organised by the Foundation Institute for Eastern Studies with the cooperation of the Podkarpackie province. The most important event which accompanies the forum is the 3rd Eastern Fair. It will be attended by over 120 companies from Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia, Austria and Romania. The organisers plan over 50 discussion panels to be conducted during the forum, in which nearly 300 speakers will attend. The discussions will refer among other topics to the economy, business, European integration, reforms in Ukraine and international politics.
