European region “Dnister”— the first step to the EU

On February, 2, 2012 during a visit of Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova Volodymyr Filat to Ukraine between our states the agreement on the creation of the European Region “Dnister” was signed. Joint activity within the framework of this structure has to contribute to the settlement of many economic problems and solution of social protection issues. It will enable to unite the material and financial resources of both parties in order to implement joint programs and projects, in particular, within the framework of the European Programs of Assistance, to develop good neighborly relations between the boundary regions of Ukraine and Moldova.
