From October 31 to November 5, the Crimean Tatar Resource Center, with the support of the Representative Office of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom in Ukraine, held the 2nd Strategic Forum The Future of Crimea.
The event was attended by 20 experienced experts, including representatives of the academic environment of Ukraine, experts from the Expert Network of the Crimean Platform, public figures, journalists, doctors and candidates of legal, geographical, economic, political, sociological, historical and pedagogical sciences.
During the forum, experts analyzed in detail the development of Ukrainian legislation on the reintegration of Crimea in 2023. Particular attention was paid to the analysis of the Action Plan for the implementation of the Strategy for deoccupation and reintegration of the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol.
“Many experts expressed the wish that it is necessary to draw the attention of central executive authorities to a better approach in the formation of such by-laws, since each such document is a road map in the implementation of state policy in these matters. Therefore, general recommendations for this document on form, design and content were developed. Of course, this applies not only to this document, but also to others that are adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine”,- noted Eskender Bariiev.
In particular, the experts have prepared a number of recommendations for each area that is in this Plan for the central authorities, as well as for the embassies of states that are participants in the Crimean Platform. Public presentations of these recommendations will be made soon.
It is worth noting that when experts analyzed the documents, they built models for the reintegration of Crimea according to two scenarios:
- when the Russian Federation makes a gesture of goodwill and leaves Crimea without destroying the infrastructure, but leaving the 5th column;
- when the Russian Federation leaves Crimea, it will destroy everything.
The organizers and participants of the event also paid special attention to the development of the advocacy and information campaign The Future of Crimea, the results of which you can see later on the resources of the Crimean Tatar Resource Center.
Let’s continue to work!
