INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE TO ASSESS UKRAINE'S
PROSPECTS FOR INTEGRATION INTO THE
EUROATLANTIC COMMUNITY
Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA)
New York, New York
August 20, 2002
New York, NY (UCCA) -- Just steps from the White House, on
October 8th and 9th, a veritable "who's who" of foreign policy establish-
ments from the United States, Ukraine, the European Union and NATO
will gather to evaluate Ukraine's prospects for eventual integration into
the structures of the EuroAtlantic community . Over 70 government
leaders, international foreign policy experts, and prominent figures from
research centers and academia are slated to participate at the third
annual "Ukraine's Quest for Mature Nation Statehood" roundtable series.
The subject of Ukraine's 'EuroAtlantic future' has been broached on
a theoretical level at the conference's two predecessors - Roundtables I
and II. Roundtable III: "Ukraine and the EuroAltantic Community" will
take into account Ukraine's efforts to move matters from theory to
practice, as exemplified by its firm backing of the U.S.-led struggle
against global terrorism, its various probes to stimulate serious discussion
concerning its entry into the EU, and its formal request, announced on
May 24, 2002, to be considered a candidate for NATO membership.
The two-day conference, which will be held at the JW Marriott on
Pennsylvania Avenue in the heart of our nation's capital, will feature
twelve panels, held during the course of four regular sessions, two
working luncheons, and four special focus sessions. Additionally,
Roundtable III will play host to two evening receptions -- including a
celebration dedicated to marking a special event for the Ukrainian
American community --the 25th Anniversary of the Ukrainian National
Information Service (UNIS).
