According to her, this is an important step toward integrating Ukraine into the European cultural and audiovisual space.
For the first time, we are regulating the co-production of series. The document was signed during the Carpathian Integration Summit. For the Ukrainian industry, this creates new opportunities to produce series together with European partners, attract international funding, and enter new markets
She clarified that the convention makes it possible to obtain official co-production status and guarantees a share of the rights to the product created and the income from its use.
"The document also establishes flexible conditions for financial participation—the minimum contribution of a partner in multilateral co-productions may be small, opening up more opportunities for Ukrainian teams to participate in major international projects," the minister added.
