Mr. Director, with what objective did the signatories
of the Declaration establish your Association?
The beginning of the 1990s was a period of rapid social
change. Regional self-government had ceased to exist and
the regional government did not exist yet. It was necessary
to create an environment for the support and new direction
of the whole region and the creation of a completely new
industrial structure. This task was successfully undertaken
by a new, completely non-political institution, the North
Moravian Economic Union, based on the principle
of partnership and cooperation. The most important
industrial companies of the region joined it.
What are the most significant traces left behind by
the Association?
There were many of them, and very significant ones. Today,
for example, few people know that the MS Union was
one of the three founders of the Regional Development
Agency, which in 1995, together with the Statutory City
of Ostrava and three regional universities, established
the Ostrava Science and Technology Park. The MS Union
has also played a historically significant positive role in
addressing the region’s transport accessibility, particularly
through its strong and tireless influence on the relevant
central authorities in the construction of the D47 motorway
and the modernisation of key railway junctions and lines.
For more than 10 years, the MS Union has organised
the “Industrial Landscape” conferences, focused on
conceptual solutions for further use of the territory affected
by mining and industrial activities. For more than twenty
years we have been organising the conference WASTE
21, addressing current issues of waste management and
its energy recovery. Within the structure of the MS Union,
the activities of the MS Employment Pact and the pilot
testing of elements of dual education in MSK were also
launched. Over the years, the MS Union has been involved
in a number of development transformation projects.
And what about the future?
The 30th anniversary is undoubtedly a good occasion to
celebrate, reflect, thank, but also to reflect on the future.
The MS Union currently still represents a strong potential
of active subjects who are not indifferent to the future of
the region and who are ready to actively move it forward
towards its prosperity and balanced development, and to
cooperate in a coordinated way with all those who wish to
do the same.
Mr Mácha, thank you for the interview.
