“We appeal to leading experts and institutions involved in the popularization and development of the Ukrainian language. We are currently collecting their proposals and developing a project of the Ukrainian language support program in the Lviv Region, and we hope that in September we will come to the final version, which we will propose to adopt at the session of the Lviv Regional Council” – emphasized the deputy head of the working group for the development of the program, the head of the commission on cultural issues, information policy and promotion Sviatoslav Sheremet.
