<\/a>The activities of the Institute for Global Politics attract the interest of a wide range of both our analysts and their foreign colleagues, as has been repeatedly confirmed by joint projects addressing pressing contemporary issues, first of all those related to the Russian-Ukrainian war, the consequences of which are felt throughout the world, and above all in Europe. The Institute\u2019s website features a wealth of up-to-date information, to which we can add the recent press conference in Uzhhorod, where Oleh Bereziuk, President of the Institute for Global Politics, and his colleagues were invited. <\/span><\/p>\nThe event took place at the Uzhhorod Press Club with the support of the NGO \u201cSociety of Slovak Intellectuals of Transcarpathia,\u201d which is actively engaged in addressing the region\u2019s current issues.<\/span><\/p>\n In his opening remarks, O. Bereziuk told the journalists gathered at the event about the work of the Institute he heads. He pointed out, in particular, that cooperation for the benefit of Ukraine is extremely important today, and the signing of the Memorandum of Cooperation and Partnership between the parties \u2013 the NGO \u201cInstitut<\/span><\/p>\n e for Global Politics\u201d and the NGO \u201cSociety of Slovak Intellectuals of Transcarpathia\u201d \u2013 is one such manifestation of this. On behalf of the Society, the document was signed by its head, Ernest Horvat.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAs we all know, the situation in Ukraine is extremely complex,\u201d he said, \u201cso joint activities between neighboring countries have become significantly more difficult. We cannot ignore this. Our colleagues from the Institute for Global Politics agree with this. By the way, we should also resume and coordinate cooperation with those organizations that were once very popular and active in Transcarpathia but have currently scaled back their activities.<\/span><\/p>\n What will this bring to Ukraine? In E. Horvat\u2019s view, it will resolve many issues, including those related to the difficulties of crossing the border, without which it is difficult to cooperate with foreign colleagues today.<\/span><\/p>\n – In gen During his speech, Magomed Torijev, Vice President of the Institute for Global Politics, highlighted how Russia is currently attempting to undermine Ukraine\u2019s reputation, particularly in Europe. To this end, the Russians allocate appropriate funds, enlist individuals to appear on television with specific narratives, distort information about the course of military operations, and provide support to their so-called war correspondents. The Institute for Global Politics constantly analyzes such \u201cactivities\u201d and takes specific informational countermeasures. And the experience gained in this area can also be used in bilateral cooperation. This includes addressing integration challenges in Transcarpathia itself, in particular, to ensure the effectiveness of efforts related to the resettlement of Ukrainian citizens arriving from eastern Ukrainian territories where hostilities have taken place.<\/span><\/p>\n – We now need to actively develop such cooperation to open a window of opportunity for the development of Transcarpathia, – E. Horvad is convinced. \u2013 And in this regard, we must take into account the industries being relocated from the East to the West of Ukraine as a result of the long-standing Russian-Ukrainian war. And also to prevent Russia from returning to Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>In response to questions from journalists, <\/span>Mr. Horvat<\/b> highlighted directions of such joint activities and reminded about the experience in cross-border cooperation gained by the Association, which will undoubtedly prove useful in the future work of both organizations. Incidentally, this will be the topic of an upcoming roundtable scheduled for this month in Uzhhorod. Its theme has already been clearly defined: <\/span>\u201cProblems and Prospects of Cross-Border Cooperation in Wartime\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/a>eral, cooperation in this direction will contribute to strengthening interstate ties, which in some cases have been weakened or even severed.<\/span><\/p>\n
