Zelensky: Over 50 Carpathian Deals Worth €1B Prepared for Signing
On Friday, Sept. 18, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy launched the 'Carpathian Eight' alliance in Bukovel, uniting eight nations to foster regional economic and security cooperation.
The new bloc includes Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Slovakia, Czechia, Austria, Hungary, and Serbia, aiming to integrate Ukraine deeper into European economic and security structures.
Zelenskyy announced more than 50 agreements worth over €1 billion are prepared for signing, with energy projects comprising half of the unified portfolio.
The summit's investment program features 90 projects totaling $10.7 billion, including plans for a 1.5 gigawatt wind-energy cluster to position the Carpathians as an energy supplier.
While seven leaders attended the inaugural summit, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was absent from the official group photo taken on the first morning.
