The beneficiary representative, the director of the Podkarpackie Regional Road Management, Piotr Miąso emphasized that:

We can see these good effects and outcomes of cooperation even in these bad times.

Whereas Halyna Lytvyn, the former director of the Euroregion Carpathians – Ukraine, speaking on behalf of the Ukrainian delegation added that:

The Cross-Border Cooperation Program is not only about the number of road kilometres, number of projects completed or number of events held, but also the force of impact after implementation.
