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.

State regulation of transborder cooperation at the regional level

Within the European regions formed on the borders between Ukraine and the EU, the activation of investment cooperation and the diversification of its areas of activity are largely determined by the nature of the investment climate. This is because the investment climate’s features determine the importance of investment projects and their implementation in the relevant cross-border regions, will prioritize the development of these areas, as well as providing the availability of positive stimulus for legitimate investors for their work in the cross-border market.
