Open letter from representatives of public organizations and student self-government bodies to the head and deputies of the Volyn Regional Council, head of the Volyn Regional State Administration June 20, 2009 Lutsk
We, representatives of public organizations and student self-government bodies of the Volyn region, address You, the leadership of the representative and executive authorities of the region, with an initiative to hold European Good Neighbor Days in 2009 on the territory of our region. We propose to hold this event on August 28-30, 2009 in the border strip of the Ukrainian-Polish border (near border marker 835) in the area of the village of Krechiv, Ivanychi district - the city of Novovolynsk (on the Polish side - Kryliv, Hrubieszów County, Lublin Voivodeship). Through the joint organization of this large social-cultural event, we want to mobilize residents, representatives of authorities and business of the border regions to search for ways to solve the problems of the borderland and overcome the "wounds of history," as well as to actively involve them in creating new border crossings. The implementation of Transborder Good Neighbor Days for five consecutive years on the territory of the Lviv region has proven that this initiative serves as a good symbol of unity and brotherhood of neighboring peoples, the development of Ukrainian-Polish cooperation and European integration, which are especially important in the border region within the framework of the expansion of the Schengen zone and in the context of preparations for hosting Euro 2012. "European Good Neighbor Days 2009 - 'Border 835'" - is an expression of our vision of the European future of Ukraine, our participation in building bridges between peoples who create the European community. Therefore, we address You with a request for assistance and the provision of organizational and material support for this initiative. For our part, we declare our active participation in the preparation and conduct of events within the framework of European Good Neighbor Days in Volyn.
