and Georgia are discussing topical problems of the development of
the Black Sea region and cooperation of the region’s countries.

transformations. As Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Andriy Veselovsky
noted, the Black Sea synergy has two purposes: to improve cooperation
among the countries of the region and to strengthen cooperation with
the European Union. Andriy Veselovsky stressed on the need to air an EU
membership perspective of Ukraine on the part of the EU, as is known,
the neighborhood policy doesn’t provide for the membership.
