Time is the major adversary of Ukraine and Poland on their way to a successful implementation of Euro-2012 project. Adam Olkhovich, the Head of the Committee for organizing EURO 2012 attached to the Football Association of Poland, said "five years is not too much at all" during the 4th annual "Yalta European Strategy" meeting during a round-table session "EURO 2012 Championship: What will it give to Ukraine?".
In his closing word at the final plenary session of the 4th annual Yalta European Strategy (YES) meeting Victor Pinchuk, the organization's founder, made new YES initiatives public.
Chancellor of Germany (1998-2005) Gerhard Schroeder pointed out in his speech at a round-table session "Agenda-2020 and the future relations between Ukraine and EU" that the Euro-integration process on the whole is a sort of a response to globalization.
During a plenary session of the 4th Yalta European Strategy summit, the President of Poland in 1995-2005, YES Board member, Alexander Kwasniewski, said: "Ukraine has its own place in Europe, determined by its culture, history, traditions and democracy". I expect from EU a simple and very clear statement "Yes! We do need Ukraine!".
Vice-president of the European Parliament, Board Member of YES, Marek Siewec believes that the year 2020 is "a feasible time for Ukraine's accession to the EU no matter what".
The current situation in Ukraine cannot be viewed in isolation from All-European and worldwide processes.
Prospect for Ukraine's accession to the European Union in 2020 in accordance with the provisions of YES "Agenda-2020" is feasible enough.
In his welcoming speech at the official opening ceremony of the 4th annual summit of Yalta European Strategy (YES) the federal chancellor of Germany (1998-2005) Gerhard Schroeder pointed out that Europe needs "democratic development and territorial integrity of Ukraine". So does Russia because Russia is linked to Ukraine through history, culture and language more than any other European country.
