On November 2, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Patriarch Lubomyr, met with a deputy of the European Parliament and co-head of the parliament’s Committee for Supervising Elections in Ukraine, Pavel Koval. The participants of the meeting discussed the issues of integration of Ukraine in the European Union.  

“Ukraine has been and will always be a part of Europe. As for the European Union, it's more of an economic rather than cultural institution.  Therefore, we would like to see Europe rich spiritually and culturally. Many things coming to us from the West are not the best.  We would like to see Europe rich spiritually and with such a Europe we wish to cooperate,” noted Patriarch Lubomyr during the meeting.
