Možnosti podpory Ukrajiny a krajanům na Ukrajině ze strany České republiky jako člena EU
Ways of Providing Support to Compatriots in Ukraine by the Czech Republic as a Member State of the EU

Summary/Abstract: Political and economic support for Ukraine and its citizens from the European Union and especially from the Czech Republic and a number of its non-governmental organisations is a precondition of a good neighbour policy, solidarity and European concepts of peace and stability on the European continent. Support for Ukrainian citizens is also using those citizens of Ukraine who have their ethnic roots in the Czech Republic and who have lived mainly in western Ukraine, e.g. in Melitopol, Zaporozie, Lvov or Uzhgorod. According to estimates of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, there are nearly 6,000 Czech nationals currently living in Ukraine, who associate in a number of expatriate associations. These associations are covered by the Czech National Council of Ukraine (ČNRU). Czech associations and business corporations make efforts to co-operate not only with expatriate associations, but also with other parts of Ukrainian public life in order to optimise the support of its stabilisation, including through grants from the EU funds to Ukraine. The Czech Republic also supports Ukrainian citizens through scholarships to students and through organising stays for Ukrainian children with compatriot backgrounds. Some universities, such as the Faculty of Law in Olomouc, have provided scholarships to several Ukrainian students.
