European Charter of Local Self-Government

Prospects for the Development of Cross-Border Cooperation at the Local Government Level in Ukraine

The irreversible course of Ukraine’s accession to the European Union is vividly demonstrated every
day in the media by the unwavering support of our country by international partners and organisations,
as well as by the top officials of foreign states. The key task is to adapt the acquis communautaire into the
national legislation of Ukraine. All reforms are taking place in parallel with the Ukrainian government’s
accession negotiations, starting with the ratification of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement in 2014.
