President meets Volodymyr Yavorivsky
Victor Yushchenko has met with MP Volodymyr Yavorivsky, Chairman of the National Union of Ukrainian Writers, who also leads the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Culture. They agreed that it is important to fairly and rationally use budget funds to resolve the most pressing problems of Ukraine’s culture. Mr. Yavorivsky gave Mr. Yushchenko proposals formulated by his parliamentary committee. Its members believe that the Ukrainian government should involve foreign experts in translating Ukrainian books into the world’s most widely spoken languages. They hope it will help Ukrainian authors win international acclaim and receive prestigious prizes.
