The year of Ukraine in the Republic of Poland: negotiations, results, cultural events (2005)

Abstract

The study examines Ukrainian-Polish relations through the context of "The Year of Ukraine in the Republic of Poland": the large-scale series of joint actions, celebrations and negotiations hosted by Poland and Ukraine in 2005 in honor of the strategic partnership between the two countries. In addition to detailing a number of celebrations, especially those that influenced the diplomacy of the two countries at the highest level, the study lists specific results of certain agreements that were signed or implemented in the framework of the Year of Ukraine. The primary sources for the research are bilateral agreements between Ukraine and the Republic of Poland (for example, the "Agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Government of the Republic of Poland on mutual academic recognition of documents of education and equivalence of degrees"), memorandums, as well as information from media sources.
