On the occasion of the Eastern Partnership summit in Riga on May 21-22, 2015, the Center for EU Enlargement Studies published its position paper "Eastern Partnership beyond the Riga Summit: Rethinking Cooperation". The paper calls for the EU to approach the challenges both the region and its own policy face in a strategic manner. The new approach should be differentiated but should remain inclusive. Mobility, trade and investment, good governance and security should be at its core. It should engage and empower civil society, while pursuing an honest and clear communication strategy.
