NOVIY ROZDIL #INVESTINLVIVREGION JORGE GARCIA CORPORATE VICE PRESIDENT MEMBER OF THE BOARD & COMPANY SECRETARY FUJIKURA AUTOMOTIVE EUROPE Lviv region with qualified human capital, favorable location and well developed infrastructure has a big potential to grow. This is the place where foreign investors will get full support of the authorities to establish and build new companies. MAKSIM KOZYTSKI DIRECTOR ECO OPTIMA LLC ECO OPTIMA Company welcomes the creation of investment policy department. In terms of doing this business there was an urgent need for the establishment of a public authority, which would accompany the investment projects. Since the beginning of the department operation, investors feel that local authority is waiting and want to see them in Lviv region. This, in turn, gave us confidence, reliability and stability in the implementation of our projects. In addition, we express gratitude for the support in the wind farm construction project in Staryi Sambir, which we have implemented by joint efforts. SERHIY LENCHUK DIRECTOR GALICIA GREENERY LLC The decision to build a greenhouse complex exactly in Lviv Region was made before the first signs of conflict appeared in the east of the country. The investor came here first of all in the search of the client — for providing customers with quality and fresh vegetables and to shorten time of transportation. Such factors as the developed infrastructure — roads, airport, availability of skilled workers and willingness of local authorities to overcome together bureaucratic barriers also became decisive for construction of the complex in the Lviv region. Of course, geographic location became a positive factor as well because of proximity to the border with the EU. Certainly, battle actions in the east areas of the country negatively affect the investment climate of the country on the whole. However, location of the Lviv region in the distance over 1000 kilometers from the conflict zone is one of the factors that add confidence to the investors. We are convinced that only cooperation between enterprises and government will further enhance the investment attractiveness of Ukraine and hope that Lviv region will become a leader in business development. #INVESTINLVIVREGION JÖRGEN CEDERHOLM DIRECTOR DANISH TEXTILES Road infrastructure of Sokal District at the border territory of Lviv​​ Region promotes formation and efficient use of investment and financial support, socio-economic progress in the development of the Region. Repairing the road in the direction to Chervonohrad increases the investment attraction of Sokal District, provides fast and convenient access to entities of production capacity. NAZAR PRYTULA DIRECTOR DIAL-MARKET Undoubtedly road and engineering infrastructure is one of the first and the main factors in choosing the areas for investment. In this context, engineering and road infrastructure in Lviv region is very successful for industrial enterprises engaged in foreign economic activity. It should be noted that the improvement process of road infrastructure in the region, which began in preparation for Euro 2012 not only didn’t stop, but also significantly increased its volumes. This is due to the new enacted legislative acts which are stimulating this sphere of activity and relationship of management of the region to this important issue. ANDREA BIANCO DIRECTOR CONTINENTAL FARMERS GROUP Ukraine is a very interesting country, and especially Lviv region because it has many perspectives. Here are fantastic land and unique people who have been working in agriculture since time immemorial — incredibly winning combination. The goal of “Continental Farmers Group” — maximum efficiency of growing crops, quality and then the yield. During all time of work in Lviv Region we have been investing in improvement and enhancement of soil fertility, production capacities, equipment, training of staff and specialists, increase of professional’s knowledge level, because we realize the greatest value of human capital for an enterprise. All of it is done gradually and in accordance with the strategic goals. The successful doing of agrarian business on the territory of Western Ukraine for ten years already confirms the rightness of choice of Lviv region by the investor group and further popularization of Lviv region’s attractiveness in Ukraine and abroad. #INVESTINLVIVREGION DEPARTMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY The purpose of the department activity is the need to make business functioning in the Lviv region comfortable and demonstrate that the authority is ready to contribute fully to doing business.

  • Pedestrian Border Crossings
    Pedestrian border crossings Diagnosis, arguments and recommendations Krzysztof Mrozek The Schengen area is based on two principles: 1) the internal borders between members of the Schengen zone are open with no border checks, customs control or external borders and 2) the gateways to the whole Schengen area are protected by state-of-the-art infrastructure and the well-trained border police of border countries, coordinated by the Warsaw-based EU agency FRONTEX. The functioning of the EU external border is regulated by the Schengen Borders Code, which entered into force in 20061. Out of approximately 9,000 kilometres of the total EU external land border, 1,163 kilometres are in Poland (33% of the Polish land border). Keen on maintaining good relations with its neighbours who are not EU members, Poland is a frontrunner in streamlining cross-border traffic and implementing new technology and means of border controls, including pedestrian border crossings. An ongoing refugee crisis in 2015 puts under question not only the effectiveness of the EU external borders, but also the future of the Schengen area as such. Nevertheless, current challenges should not be an excuse for only maintaining them secure but not making them more friendly for travellers. Poland has been a part of the Schengen zone since 2007 and its citizens have therefore already got used to the fact that crossing borders with other EU countries is just like crossing from one voivodship to another. It is easy to not notice the signs on main roads informing us about crossing national borders. There is no border or customs control, no queues and no “ants”2.

  • Strakhotsky Palace in Mostyska Rudnykivsky Palace in Mostyska
    Strakhotsky Palace in Mostyska Rudnykivsky Palace in Mostyska Schloss Strakhovskyi in Mostyska Schlagwörter: Schloss (Bauwerk) Fachsicht(en): Kulturlandschaftspflege, Archäologie, Denkmalpflege, Landeskunde, Architekturgeschichte Gemeinde(n): Kreis(e): Bundesland: Front view of the Strakhotsky Palace (2021) Fotograf/Urheber: Maria Snaichuk Around 1820, Anthony Strakhotsky (1776-1850) began the construction of Strakhotsky Palace, with the support of the architect Frederick Baumann (1765/1770-1845). In the fashion of that time (romanticism, glorification of old ruins), the project was made in the style of a romantic castle with a tower. Adjacent to the north, a park was created. This park is almost completely gone today. Historical background Mostyska is one of the oldest cities in Western Ukraine. It was first mentioned in the Galician-Volyn chronicle in 1244. Its medieval urban condition has survived to this day. The northern part of Mostyska once was an independent village called Rudnyky. There the Strakhotsky Palace is located. The first mention of Rudnyky (formerly known as Rudnyky Lackie) dates to 1593. At the beginning of the 19th century, Rudnyky, which belonged to the crown estates of the Mostyska eldership, was inherited by the nobleman Anthony Strakhotsky. He lived with his younger brothers Josef (b. 1790, a major in the Polish army and a Napoleonic officer), and Roman (b. 1794, who took an active part in the polish patriotic movement). Anthony Strakhotsky was a respected man and a friend of the Polish prince Henryk Ludwik Lubomyrsky (1777-1850), who was a magnate, politician and patron of the arts and lived in Przeworsk (Poland). It is assumed that high acquaintances prompted Strakhotsky to build a palace so that society would not suspect him of poverty or greed.
