Today we continue the discussion on the impact of the EU’s Eastern Partnership at the #EFLevent – Reviving the Eastern Partnership. This time – in Tbilisi, Georgia. It was a great honor for the Europe-Georgia Institute to participate in the organization of this event.
Together with European Liberal Forum and our speakers Dionis Cenusa, Leo Litra, Daniel Kaddik, Sergiu Boghean, Shamil Shugaev, George Melashvili we aim to identify and compile the current trends, current problems and best practices from Eastern Partnership member countries, especially from Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia.
Furthermore, as part of the event, the participants will identify and promote tools and mechanisms for a liberal approach on how the future of the EU’s Eastern Partnership might be changed.
