This document discusses Hungary's perspective on cross-border cooperation (CBC) with Ukraine and Belarus, based on Hungary's experiences in the Carpathian Euroregion. It notes that Hungary originally promoted a wider European vision for CBC in the late 1980s, but more recently has focused only on Hungarian border regions surrounding Hungarian communities, losing its interethnic and intercultural focus. The document also lists experiences that make CBC successful, including having shared values among participating countries, common interests between entities, territories not too large to be functional, consideration of different competency levels, a cross-sectoral approach, involvement beyond just ethnicity/national identities, and active involvement of civil society and local communities.

Slovak reforms and EU integration provided lessons for Ukraine. Slovakia's EU membership was crucial but not sufficient for its economic success; comprehensive, bold economic reforms between 2002-2006 including tax, pension, healthcare, and labor market reforms were key. These reforms helped attract foreign direct investment and boost exports, particularly in the automotive industry, making Slovakia's economy one of the fastest growing in the EU. While EU funds financed infrastructure and 80% of public investments, Slovakia has underperformed in utilizing its allocated structural funds. Overall, Slovakia's experience shows that domestic reforms are critical to leverage the opportunities of EU integration.

EaP security dimension
The document discusses reference points for improving the security agenda of the Eastern Partnership. It argues that the biggest problem in the region, which is not properly addressed in EU policy, is security issues. It recommends that the EU develop a unified European Foreign Policy and Security Strategy to provide a strategic framework for relations with Eastern partners. This would help address issues like territorial conflicts in an coordinated manner. The summary also emphasizes developing political will in the EU to engage more actively on regional security, and further integrating EU security and defense policies to strengthen the Union's role as a security provider.
Reform of the diplomatic service of Ukraine
1) The document discusses reforms needed for Ukraine's diplomatic service, including drawing from the experiences of Poland and other Visegrad Group countries.
2) Key recommendations include developing a long-term foreign policy strategy, strengthening the economic component of foreign policy, and treating public diplomacy as a separate tool on par with traditional diplomacy.
3) The experiences of Visegrad Group countries also suggest decentralizing some ministry functions to independent organizations and gradually adopting European standards.
EaP CSF Kyiv security conference final programme
The Eastern Partnership region, and in particular Ukraine, is currently at the centre of the conflict challenging the established global order. Since 2014 Russia has openly acted as aggressor against Ukraine by annexing the Crimea and waging the hybrid war in Eastern Ukraine as a response to Ukraine’s European choice and decision to sign the Association Agreement. As a result of the conflict escalation, more than 1 million Ukrainian citizens have been internally displaced and more than 5 thousand people have been killed. European security system was incapable to react adequately to the full-scale military conflict in Ukraine. So far EU sanctions are not efficient enough for Russia to take steps on scaling down the conflict, let alone to stop the aggressor.
Since the launch of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) in 2009, the Eastern Neighbours have been experiencing pressure by the Russian Federation challenging the closer cooperation of the EaP countries with the EU. Georgia, as a result of Russian aggression lost the control over Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Moldova feels the pressure due to the Russian influence on Transnistrian government, economic and trade wars are announced and conducted openly. Azerbaijan and Armenia are in a long-term territorial conflict frozen in its current status due to the Russian leverage. Belarus also continuously experiences economic pressure from Russia.
High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, and the European Parliament underlined that EU needs ‘a new European Security Strategy that takes account of the recent geopolitical changes in order to respond to the new threats and challenges’. It is obvious that this new strategy calls for the review of the principles of cooperation with the neighbouring countries, including the EaP region, as well as neighbours of the EU neighbours.
Therefore, in light of the European Neighbourhood Policy review, its security component is high on the agenda. It should be ensured that the EaP civil society is involved in the development of the new EU Neighbourhood and security policy format by adopting practical recommendations for the stakeholders in EU and neighbouring countries.
The main aim of the conference is to conduct a wide-ranging expert discussion on strengthening the security dimension of the EaP policy covering the spectrum of possible soft and hard measures. At the end of the conference, a resolution with concrete proposals on several security dimensions will be adopted. The resolution will be presented during the Eastern Partnership Civil Society Forum’s (EaP CSF) advocacy campaign on security issues in Brussels and at the EaP CSF Annual Assembly to be held in Kyiv in November 2015.
