Europe disappointed "Eastern partnership"

European officials hope to rid demagogy and not take virtually any decisions at the summit in Riga, experts are convinced.

Most of the States of the former Soviet Union, which was intended meeting, very quickly lose interest in integration into EU structures.

The program "Eastern partnership", which, apparently, was conceived by the founders as a demonstration of the advantages of European diplomacy, promises to expose them to ridicule. The fact that the meeting in Riga will have virtually no breakouts, must recognize and European policy.

It was planned that the holding of summits and working in partnership will bring former Soviet republics under Russia's influence and to draw them to himself. However to make concrete steps towards the integration of these countries into the European Union civil servants are not ready. Against this background, other participants also lose their interest in the program.

"Now we go on a normal working relationship between the partners. This is, perhaps, not sensationally, but significant for our people. This is something we have worked for. Our business, our partnership with each of them is too important for us and for each of them", - quotes the head of EU diplomacy Federica Mogherini RIA Novosti.

Meanwhile, Armenia and Belarus managed to join the Eurasian financial Union, Azerbaijan also lost the enthusiasm to passing the summit. Only 2 powers retain expectations of friendship with the EU - Georgia and Ukraine, but also for civil servants do not store anything except fresh commitments.

Prime Minister of Finland Alexander Stubb said: "if Georgia fulfills the conditions for the introduction of a visa-free regime with the EU, the final agreement can be reached in 2016. "If the conditions are met, we will certainly move in this direction," he said. The abolition of visas for Ukrainians, no one even considers.

The summit of "Eastern partnership" held in Riga on 21-22 may. The program is focused on 6 countries - Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Experts expect that the meeting will underline once again her downfall.
