“Results of the visit of the Foreign Ministers from Austria, Lithuania, and Romania to the South Caucasus will be discussed at the next Foreign Affairs Council on 12 July,” EU High Representative Josep Borrell said in his article “Why we need more EU engagement in the South Caucasus?”.

The foreign ministers of Austria, Lithuania, and Romania, Austria, Lithuania, Romania Alexander Challenberg, Gabrielius Landsbergis, and Bogdan Aurescu visited the South Caucasus on June 25-26 to express EU support for Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia in the run-up to the Eastern Partnership summit, which is scheduled for December this year.

“We are now preparing for the December summit of the Eastern Partnership. In this context, the three Ministers sent a clear message that the Eastern Partnership is and will remain an inclusive cooperation format. The three countries’ leaders have appreciated the EU visit and indicated they want more EU involvement in the region. They stressed their readiness to cooperate with the EU on regional economic development and connectivity and that they value the EU’s role in building trust and in contributing to conflict transformation,” the High Representative said.
