The European Union is preparing a new document on Eastern Partnership that will go beyond the association agreements, RFE/RL reported.

The document will be discussed during the upcoming meeting of 28 EU foreign ministers in Brussels on February 10.

The text of the document suggests that EU is seeking new ideas for development of relations with Eastern Partnership member states.

“Armenia decided to shun the association agreement in favor of the Russian-led Customs Union in September, but there is a suggestion in the text to upgrade the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) that currently regulates EU-Armenia relations. No details are offered,” RFE/RL writes.

The document includes suggestions for Moldova and Georgia that are expected to sign association agreements this year, for Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Belarus. Besides, EU states want to be engaged in an open dialogue with Russia on the integration processes in Europe.
