A unique space was created for global dialogue between various institutions regarding international cooperation, in establishing ties between the Czech Republic, Ukraine, and Israel.

Within the framework of the Summit, a scientific and practical round table was held on the topic: State policy in crisis and post-crisis periods.

Particular attention was paid to issues related to social protection, support, and integration of veterans, including combatants, persons with disabilities due to war, as well as families of fallen servicemen. At the round table, the main focus was on developing mechanisms for comprehensive rehabilitation (physical, psychological, social, professional) of servicemen and civilians affected by the war.

In addition, significant attention was paid to the legal aspects of state policy at the event, which includes issues of international humanitarian law, war crimes, compensation for damages, as well as the restoration of rights and freedoms of citizens in de-occupied territories. The key role of lawyers and scientists in developing legislative initiatives, expert opinions, providing legal assistance, and ensuring compliance with the law in conditions of war and the transitional period was outlined.
