The Eastern Partnership of the EU - Current Developments and Perspectives for the European Integration Process

The Eastern Partnership Policy was officially launched in 2009 and its main objective is to start a dialogue and enhance cooperation with EU’s Eastern neighbors: Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova in the areas such as trade, migration, energy and politics. In recent years, the relations between the EU and the members of the Eastern Partnership developed in different ways. Countries have responded differently to the same initial offer by the European Union. Association Agreements could only be concluded with Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Consequences and challenges were analyzed at the 6th conference of Network Europe.
