On Friday, 28 January 2011, in Davos (Switzerland), the Victor Pinchuk Foundation and international investment advisory group EastOne will hold the 7^th Davos Ukrainian Lunch at the occasion of the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum. This year’s Davos Ukrainian Lunch entitled ‘2012@PL&UA’ will feature President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych and President of Poland Bronislaw Komorowski.

The key topics to be discussed include the preparations to the UEFA 2012 European Football Championship (EURO 2012) that will be jointly hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
