This Saturday, Europe visited Lutsk. More precisely — the European Union. No, our regional center has not yet been personally admitted to Europe.\n \nHowever, on Teatralnyi Square, Lutsk residents welcomed the participants of the action "Meet Europe in Your City." Under this slogan, from May 26 to June 4, regional information days of the EU are being held in 9 cities of Ukraine. Lutsk became the third city after Zhytomyr and Rivne where a powerful bus with employees of the European Commission in Ukraine arrived.\n \n \nThe heat slightly delayed the opening of the action on Teatralnyi Square. But soon a queue formed at its information tent, mostly of young Lutsk residents. In order to receive brochures, reference literature about the EU, and a European Union flag, one had to guess which country's flag was depicted or know at least something about a country of this European association.\n \n \nAnd then the main event began on the assembled stage. The purpose of the action and how Europe Days were held in Ukraine were described to those present by Mykola Kulinich, chief consultant of the main information service at the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine. The entertainment program aroused particular interest. ICTV channel host Oleksii Hnylusha and Gala radio host Yurii (DJ Kid) chatted informally with young Volyn residents. Winners of contests and quizzes on knowledge of sports, music, European youth life and customs, and events in Ukraine received T-shirts with the symbols of the action and the European Union, posters depicting Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson and other popular actors.\n \n \nThere was also a youth disco during the action, performances by dancers and singers. As Oleksii Hnylusha said, he is pleased by Ukrainians' interest, particularly among young people, in Europe. Surprisingly, Europe Day in Donetsk was very well attended. Volyn residents, like the residents of Zhytomyr and Rivne before them, wanted to learn more about European values and culture. From Lutsk, the route of the participants of the action "Meet Europe in Your City" led to Ternopil, then — to Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Khmelnytskyi and Vinnytsia.\n \nVolodymyr LYS
