"A protocol on cooperation between the Association of Local Government Agencies in Donetsk Region and the Union of the Voivodeships (provinces) of the Republic of Poland was signed on March 11 last year. Five mutual visits were made within the year. In January 2012, our experts underwent training in Poland, and an exchange of delegations will continue. The opening of the visa center will further strengthen our cooperation," Kravtsov said during the opening of the center.
Granat said that this was the fifth such visa center in Ukraine. Poland is planning soon to open its seventh consulate general in Ukraine – in Donetsk.
