The Bulgarian School of Politics (BSoP), in partnership with the Institute for Euro-Atlantic Cooperation (IEAC) in Kiev, proposed an initiative to aid Ukraine’s democratic community in the country’s efforts to join the Euro-Atlantic community. These efforts have had long term implications for the democratic consolidation and the irreversibility of the democratic processes in Ukraine, for the strategic and geopolitical balance and the stability of the Black Sea region, and for the economic development at both the domestic and regional level.
