Why you want to be elected?
I want to be elected cause I want to contribute to the work of the national committee of the EYP-Ukraine by developing the EYP-strategy for its most thorough and effective regional development throughout our country.

How will you contribute to the work of the European Youth Parliament – Ukraine?
Regional Development is the extremely important part in the work of the EYP in any country, especially in Ukraine where we see the huge interest in EYP among the youth and due to that and other positive factors the fast rates of its development. I’m going to do everything what’s necessary for making the EYP easier available and more popular among the youngsters in the regions, namely to coordinate and to make vivid progress in the work of existing branches of EYP-UA in the regions, to develop the new ones, to coordinate and initiate the interesting fresh projects for holding in different regions of Ukraine. I believe the experience I’ve gained after participation in various EYP events during two years and especially after the successful head-organising of the Interrail 2 this September will be useful for making my contribution on a high level.

What are your plans for the term you are running for?
As I’ve already mentioned I’m eager to develop the EYP all over Ukraine, so the particular steps I’m planning to make:
1) to define the particular goals for the upcoming 2010 year and then to develop the strategy for achieving these goals;
2) to coordinate the work of the existing branches and develop them through the implementing incentives for the active members and the encouragement of the new ones;
3) to develop the new branches starting from the cities where there is at least a little group of active enthusiastic eypers (i.e. Chernihiv, Zaporizhya etc) and moving on to the others (especially using the benefits of having lots of new-comers from all over Ukraine after the IR1,2 and the Post-IR Conference in December, 2009)
4) to think over and put into practice new fresh interesting EYP projects of different levels in particular regions as well as the ones all over the country (i.e. as the IRs)

All in all I want to make EYP well-known, extremely popular and moreover highly available for the most active eypers in all parts of Ukraine.
