DEZA: Krim-Delegation studiert Gemeindeentwicklung in der Ostschweiz

Bern (ots)

Bern, 10. Juni 2004
Vom 14.-19. Juni weilen politische Vertreter der Autonomen Republik 
Krim/Ukraine auf Einladung der DEZA in der Schweiz. Die sechstägige 
Studienreise soll den Teilnehmern Entwicklungschancen von Gemeinden 
im Bereich des Tourismus und der Landwirtschaft aufzeigen. Auf dem 
Programm stehen Besuche von Gemeindeprojekten in den Kantonen 
Thurgau, St.Gallen und Graubünden sowie Kontakte mit Behörden und 
privaten Institutionen.
Der 16-köpfigen Delegation gehören nebst dem Wirtschaftsminister der 
Autonomen Republik Krim zahlreiche Abgeordnete von Regional- und 
Gemeindebehörden sowie Vertreter des UN Entwicklungsprogramms UNDP 
an. Im Zentrum steht der Besuch von Gemeindeprojekten im 
Tourismusbereich sowie der Land- und Forstwirtschaft. Diese 
Wirtschaftsbereiche weisen auf der Krim das grösste 
Entwicklungspotential auf. Die Mitsprachemöglichkeit der Bürger an 
politischen Entscheiden und verschiedene Formen des Zusammenwirkens 
von Privatwirtschaft, Verbänden und öffentlicher Hand sollen an 
Beispielen aus Ostschweizer Gemeinden illustriert werden.
Nach dem Auftakt in Bern, wo Kontakte zu Bundesbehörden auf dem 
Programm stehen, besucht die Delegation landwirtschaftliche 
Organisationen im Kanton Thurgau. Am Mittwoch sind die Besucher aus 
der Krim beim Bürgermeister von Rorschach zu Gast und besichtigen 
die technischen Betriebe der Stadt Rorschach. Am Donnerstag wird die 
Delegation von Antoni Derungs, dem Generalsekretär der Lia 
Rumantscha in Chur empfangen. Der Einbezug von sprachlichen 
Minderheiten steht im Zentrum des Graubünden-Tags. Die Studienreise 
findet am Freitag ihren Abschluss mit diversen Besuchen und 
Kontakten in St.Gallen.
Der Besuch der Delegation aus der Krim erfolgt im Rahmen eines von 
der DEZA unterstützten Programms der UNDP, das die Rückkehr und 
Reintegration der Krimtataren und anderer in der Sowjetzeit von der 
Krim deportierten Volksgruppen begleitet. Um Spannungen in dieser 
gemischt-ethnischen Region der Ukraine vorzubeugen, werden Vertreter 
der verschiedenen Volksgruppen und Gemeindebehörden bei der Planung 
und Umsetzung der Projekte miteinbezogen. Die Einrichtung von 
Trinkwasser-Versorgungssystemen und Kliniken für die ambulante 
Behandlung steht im Zentrum der Zusammenarbeit.
