Oleh Bahan delivered a presentation on a highly relevant topic: “Consolidation of Countries in the Black Sea Macro-region: A Ukrainian Vision and Strategy.” The scholar offered a comprehensive perspective on the instability within the region, while simultaneously outlining a programme of constructive actions and projects designed to foster economic, geopolitical, cultural, and social advancement across this vital geographical space.
The main point of the speaker from Drohobych is that the Black Sea region is one of Europe’s key macro-regions—alongside Western Europe, the Mediterranean, Central Europe, and the Scandinavian-Baltic macro-region—and that its development and progress are possible only through well-conceived consolidation and attention to russia’s imperial threats; furthermore, mutual support among Black Sea nations is essential for overcoming their internal political and economic challenges.
