The meeting itself became a continuation of cooperation between public organizations, local authorities, business and diplomatic missions in the development of Ukrainian-Polish relations. According to the initiator and organizer of the events at the border, Fr. Stefan Batrukh, over these 7 years the European Days of Good Neighbourhood have become a kind of social movement for popularizing the idea of a "friendly border." The number of places where events under the brand of the Days of Good Neighbourhood take place has expanded, the number of institutions and organizations joining these events has increased, and the number of people who have attended the border celebrations has grown. Thus, according to Vasyl Kuts, deputy head of the regional Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, more than 5 thousand people took part in the events on August 21 from the Ukrainian side. The Days of Good Neighbourhood gave the residents of the border area themselves the opportunity to identify and propose to the state possible locations for building new border crossing points. That is, not a few officials, but all active citizens of both countries decide what the Ukrainian-Polish border should be like. This is a great achievement. And the funds, no matter how much was spent on holding events within the framework of the Days of Good Neighbourhood, are nothing other than a contribution to the development of local infrastructure, which will remain and serve people. The fact that the Days of Good Neighbourhood were held at a good organizational level testifies to the great potential carried by cooperation with public organizations, noted the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Lutsk, Tomasz Janik. In turn, the head of the department of international cooperation and European integration of the Volyn Regional State Administration, Andriy Lomaha, noted that much was accomplished only thanks to the enthusiasm of the organizers and their partners, and that the regional authorities are ready to help public organizations in finding funding sources for the coming years from European Union funds, in particular the Cross-Border Cooperation Programme "Poland-Belarus-Ukraine" 2007-2013. Representatives of the Novovolynsk City Council and Ivanychi District Council, Viktor Sapozhnikov and Ivan Hromyk, noted that these councils have already adopted appeals to state authorities with a proposal to intensify work on creating a new border crossing point in Krechiv. To accelerate this process, local authorities undertake to lay a shorter and better road from Novovolynsk to the border line, however, for this they need financial assistance from the regional budget next year. According to officials of local self-government bodies, the construction of a new crossing will give impetus to socio-economic development and will contribute to improving international contacts of enterprises and organizations in these territories. So that the announced initiatives and ideas are not forgotten or shelved, representatives of public organizations, Mykhailo Shelep (NGO "Association of Young Reformers") and Borys Karpus (NGO "Perspektyva"), proposed to those present an indicative plan of measures within the framework of developing the Roadmap for the construction of the "Krechiv-Kryliv" crossing point. This plan envisages active work on popularizing and lobbying the idea of building a new border crossing point throughout the year until the next Days of Good Neighbourhood. The direct result of the Days of Good Neighbourhood, which should make it easier for residents of the border zone to obtain local border traffic cards, was the decision of the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in Lutsk, Tomasz Janik, to open a temporary point for accepting the necessary documents and to appoint a consul in the city of Novovolynsk. For this, according to Tomasz Janik, it is necessary that at least 40-50 people declare their desire to obtain such cards. Such a facility is needed first of all by elderly people who are unable to come to the consulate in Lutsk. But it is also necessary that local authorities contribute to the implementation of such an initiative. Also at the meeting, options were discussed for moving the date and expanding the territory of holding events near border marker 835, the possibility of building a permanent bridge over the Buh River, and holding information and educational events and international exchanges for the local population throughout the year. All participants of the meeting noted that the Days of Good Neighbourhood are an important and necessary public initiative that will have a decisive impact not only for the border territories where the events themselves take place, but also for the entire region. The European Days of Good Neighbourhood are truly an effective path to cooperation and partnership, therefore their implementation should be one of the priorities for authorities and the public.
