The School of Transnational Governance (STG) of the European University Institute, Florence, continued its High-Level Policy Dialogue (HLPD) series on Donbas’ Future with its fifth installment on 9 July 2021.1 After discussing the Concept of the Strategy of Economic Development of Donetsk and Luhansk regions at its fourth meeting, this Dialogue focused on the finalization of the Strategy and ways to maximize its impact and effectiveness.2 The Strategy was presented by Oleksii Reznikov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Reintegration of the Temporary Occupied Territories of Ukraine. Representatives from the United Nations, the European Investment Bank, the European Union and the OSCE, as well as high-level policy makers, think tankers and business representatives from Ukraine engaged in the debate. The Strategy targets the government-controlled territories in Eastern Ukraine. It seeks to change the region’s economic model, improve living conditions and create new economic opportunities for the population and for investors. Its ambition is to create a role-model with spill-over effects that could prepare a future re-integration of the temporarily occupied territories into Ukraine. If implemented successfully, the Strategy may significantly alter the region’s fate over the next decade.
