ArmInfo. Eastern Partnership Project launched on May 7 in Prague
is a more perfect and richer version of the European Neighborhood
Policy. This means that now the European Union and Eastern Partnership
Project member-states will work more and cooperate, Polish Ambassador
Tomasz Knothe said at a press conference Wednesday.

Ambassador Knothe said that unlike the European Neighborhood Policy,
Eastern Partnership comprises some new elements. First, it is the
economic aspect i.e. to make in possible for the 6 member-states
to trade with the EU and expand investments, as well as to achieve
free trade regime. Second, preparation of these statements for
associated membership, and, finally, preparation of these states
for soft visa regime. ‘These are the three key goals of the EU with
regard to the states involved in the Eastern Partnership Project’,
Tomasz Knothe said.
