Item COOPERAREA ÎN ATINGEREA OBIECTIVELOR DIN PARTENERIATULUI ESTIC ÎNCETINITĂ DE CORUPȚIA DIN EST(Print-Caro, 2023-03-15) Casiadi, Oleg; Soltan, MihaiThe Eastern Partnership from the beginning was a progressive tool and optimized application of the European Neighborhood Policy targeting Eastern Europe and Caucasus. It helped the partner countries to enter new markets proportionally to their interests and ensured the beneficiaries with aid in order to enhance democracy and eradicate corruption. More than 25 years of independence and corruption were sufficient to result in economic and social inequalities despite the last 2-3 generations growing up in communism during half of the century. The first 10-15 years of independence and privatizations were the most reorganizing ones and the most favorable for flourish corruption and sufficient to bring the populations at the edge of poverty. Today, in 2023, is the last call to bring back to the table the discussion about Eastern Partnership because of the fast changes in the region and the turbulent events of 2022. The Eastern Partnership was a necessary next step in developing and consolidating the relations of the European Union with eastern neighbors. Taking the responsibility of promoting democracy and the rule of law in a region with deep-rooted corruption was a sign of trust and commitment, especially when we have as partners some CIS member states. The goals of having a closer political association and economic integration were a vital measure for the penetration of new markets at new dimensions and strategic diversification or reorientation. It is also a big advantage for the EU by having this type of partners and their potential of production, exports, and their costs. But the debate between union and decentralization (bio trilateral agreements) seems to be also sensible for this partnership. From 2022 we have an “Associated Trio” composed of R. Moldova, Ukraine, and Georgia, of which just R. Moldova and Ukraine received the status of EU candidates. Also, we had an escalation of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and the participation of Belarus in EaP is still suspended, even more, it was subjected to new sanctions packages. The Russian aggression in Ukraine caused a new sort of crisis and instability in the region, and the peoples started to prioritize the politicians with visions and agendas oriented to ensure the peace in a way which will build a stable economy and good governance. But all these ideas circulate in a mixture of misinformation that can present a destabilization at any moment, especially in the case of states with internal conflicts.
