Summary/Abstract: The assistance of V4 is a very important for Ukraine. V4 countries reiterated their readiness to assist the Ukrainian authorities in preparing a comprehensive reforms package that should be at the forefront of the new government agenda. Such package should be focused on strengthening the rule of law, the efficiency of national and local governments, the transparency of public procurement, the reduction of state regulations and the fight against corruption, as well as envisaging a self-government reform that will bring the decision making process closer to the Ukrainian people. Genuinely implemented reforms, as demonstrated by V4 countries will bring the country closer to the European Union and will contribute to achieving Ukraine’s European aspirations, which are duly noted by the V4 countries. The international conference in support of Ukraine in 2015, as well as the Riga Eastern Partnership summit of 2015 represent important milestones in this respect.
