Georgia and the Eastern Partnership: Democratization without Conflict Resolution
Jenny Söderström

There are, however, possibilities for further EU involvement in these spheres, but only if Georgia delivers on democratic reforms. Georgia also needs to see signals from the EU that conflict resolution and security are not out of the picture in the longterm and that the EU leaves the door open for further engagement.
