Journalists from the regional media outlet “Zakarpats’kyi Visnyk” visited the Zakarpattia Regional Council to speak with Andriy Sheketa, the First Deputy Chairman of the Regional Council.
During the conversation, they addressed the most important issues that are currently having a direct impact on daily life, security, and the economy of our region under martial law.
The main topics of the conversation were:
- Governance in Wartime and the Division of Powers: How the regional council’s work has changed in recent years and how powers are clearly divided today between the regional council and the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration.
- Management of Public Institutions: To whom do Transcarpathian hospitals, colleges, and theaters actually report, and what procedure is used today to appoint their directors?
- Millions of Euros for Transcarpathia: European Grants: What tools does the region use to attract significant European funding through cross-border cooperation programs with Poland and Romania?
- 15 Years of a Strong Partnership with the Czech Republic: The journey from the first humanitarian aid shipments and the transfer of ambulances to the implementation of a large-scale project—the joint construction of the modern “450” rehabilitation center for military personnel in Uzhhorod.
- An Experience That Inspires Europe: Why foreign delegations (particularly from Lithuania) visit Transcarpathia to study and adopt local best practices in the field of civil protection.
