We need your support to make Odessa a UNESCO World Heritage Sitean invaluable monument of world heritage, in the context of Greek initiatives to protect cultural heritage from the effects of climate change and in our case from the effects of war.
Odessa is the city where the idea of the Greek Revolution was born. We have maintained the Museum of Friendly Society. In our history we have two Greek mayors. Today, the Greek community is active in our multicultural city, which is the gateway to Ukraine in the Black Sea.
Odessa is twinned with Piraeus and my vision is to strengthen Odessa’s contacts with Greek cities.
After the war, which will end in the near future I would like to invite all of you to our city, including members of the EPP to present our common values for peace, and the rule of law and international cooperation. These events could take place together with cultural and artistic events dedicated to our common cultural heritage and the promotion of the European role of Odessa as the cultural capital of the Black Sea.
