EU and Eastern Europe - Cooperation Problem

This paper deals with the issues related to non-member EU countries. The concept of the "Eastern Partnership" lies in the center of attention. It is built on the initial thesis that the collaborative process cannot ignore the historical processes, which are taking place outside the EU territory. However, the subject of research is not its own historical process in the area of Eastern European countries, but then again the analysis of the economic level, on which they occur. The author comes to the conclusion about the erroneousness of the current strategy of the EU in this area, since a differentiated approach to individual countries has been taken. Given the existence of long-term economic, cultural, ethnic and other relations between the subjects of Eastern Europe its policy has contributed to increased problems rather than their solution.
