Ukraine, Slovenia agree to cooperate within Side by Side project

According to Ukrinform, Kuleba reported this on Telegram.

"The document opens a new stage of partnership. Projects for community recovery and development, joint initiatives within the 'Side by Side: United Communities' project, and the implementation of European approaches to regional policy," the statement reads.

According to Kuleba, a number of important projects are being implemented together with Slovenia, including the opening of a rehabilitation center for children with special needs in Zhytomyr region and a psychological support center in Kharkiv. In addition, housing for foster families is being built in the Khmelnytskyi region, a waste-to-biofuel processing plant in Lviv, and water purification facilities in Zhytomyr.

"Slovenia is a partner country that firmly supports the start of negotiations and the opening of the first clusters for Ukraine's EU accession," Kuleba said.

Kuleba thanked Fajon for her personal visit to Ukraine and to local communities.

"It is important to see with one's own eyes Russia's terror against our people and their attempts to disrupt the heating season," he stressed.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Slovenia's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fajon announced on October 30 the signing of two agreements with Ukraine aimed at strengthening cooperation.
