ALDA’s commitment to Ukraine and its people has continued unceasingly since that tremendous day when Russia attacked the country.
Više od godine dana nakon početka rata, tim iz ALDA-e odlučio je da otputuje u Ukrajinu na petodnevnu misiju, koja je održana početkom maja, sa ciljem da poveća ovu stalnu posvećenost naciji, jačajući već uspostavljene veze i stvaranje novih.
The support to Ukraine involves the Association in its entirety, by starting from ALDA Governing Board members, an expert Board made of 15 members from 9 countries representing local, regional authorities and civil society organisations which will guide ALDA until 2024.

As a demonstration of this, Mr. Emir Coric, ALDA Governing Board member and representative of the Municipality of Centar (North Macedonia), took part in this mission, playing a key role for the Association and its partners in the country.
Participating on behalf of Skopje Centre but also as advisor of the Minister of Local Government of Northern Macedonia, Mr. Coric took part in the mission with the main purpose of involving the municipalities of Northern Macedonia in the ALDA flagship initiative in support of Ukraine. An initiative aimed at establishing collaborations to support ALDA’s work in the country and to become partners of the two new Ukrainian Local Democracy Agencies which will soon be created in Odesa and Vinnytsia.
U tom smislu, angažman gospodina Ćorića i korisni uvidi izneseni tokom sastanka u dva grada, pokazali su se ključnim za ovu svrhu.
“The work done during this mission in Ukraine is essential for ALDA. According to my experience in the Western Balkans the Local Democracy Agencies are an excellent instrument of cooperation in difficult times, both for the reconstruction of the country and the restoration of peace” – stated Mr. Coric.
Mr. Coric’s presence in Ukraine strengthened even more the already very active role of the Western Balkans in supporting the country and its population.
S obzirom na geografsku blizinu Ukrajine i vrlo sličnu historiju ova dva područja, djelovanje člana Upravnog odbora nije diktirano samo njegovim vrijednim iskustvom, već i njegovom dubokom emocionalnom uključenošću.
