В Екатеринбурге 3 и 4 июня состоялся саммит ЕС-Россия. ЕС на саммите был представлен Херманом Ван Ромпейем, президентом Европейского Совета, и Жозе Мануэль Баррозу, президентом Европейской Комиссии. В саммите также приняли участие Кэтрин Эштон, Верховный представитель ЕС по иностранным делам и политике безопасности / Вице-президент Европейской Комиссии, и Комиссар ЕС по вопросам энергетики Гюнтер Оттингер.

Россия была представлена президентом Владимиром Путиным, министра иностранных дел Сергеем Лавровым и несколькими другими российскими министрами.

Выступая после завершения саммита, президент Ван Ромпей заявил, что в ходе встречи он также "поднял вопрос о необходимости укрепления сотрудничества по безопасности в Европе, начиная с затяжных конфликтов у наших общих соседей".

Президент добавил:

"Я напомнил, что нам нужно всеобъемлющее урегулирование приднестровского конфликта. Основные принципы будущего урегулирования должны быть согласованы сейчас. Это конфликт, который может быть решен.

Мы призываем к продолжению взаимодействия и сотрудничества по Нагорному Карабаху в поддержке существующих переговорных процессов. Мы приветствуем позитивные изменения в российско-грузинских отношениях. Важно укрепить стабильность на Кавказе, на основе уважения принципов суверенитета и территориальной целостности."

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
