Eastern Partnership summit and Ukraine’s integration with EU - 22.09.11
In this week's programme, we take a look at the EU eastern policy ahead of the Eastern Partnership summit in Warsaw at the end of September, focusing on the prospect of Ukraine’s integration with the European Union in the context of the recent political turmoil in the country.
Hosted by Monika Greszta and John Beauchamp
On 29th and 30th September, Warsaw is to host the Eastern Partnership summit, one of the major events accompanying Poland’s rotating Council presidency of the EU. The Eastern Partnership programme, which aims to bring several post-Soviet states, including Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, closer to the European Union, was a joint initiative of Poland and Sweden, aware of the strategic importance of the countries located on the eastern flanks of the 27-nation bloc.
