“We could have seen that we had to do with an aggres­sive imperial power”

On 9 and 10 July, the Centre for Liberal Modernity organized the inter­na­tional confer­ence “EU Enlarge­ment — a geopo­lit­ical necessity and the next steps for the EU candidate states” with its partner orga­ni­za­tions in Tbilisi, Georgia.

July 9–10: Center for Liberal Modernity in Tbilisi — inter­na­tional confer­ence with our partner orga­ni­za­tions aims at fostering collab­o­ra­tion among civil society orga­ni­za­tions from the eastern part­ner­ships and the Western Balkans and strenghten them on EU accession issues. Partic­i­pants will share their paths to EU member­ship, exchange best practices and develop joint initiatives.

On 14–15 December 2023, the European Council decided to open accession nego­ti­a­tions with the Republic of Moldova if progress can be made in imple­menting EU reforms, partic­u­larly in the Rule of Law. Since then, the Moldovan govern­ment has been contin­u­ously imple­menting the EU reforms. How should Moldova’s progress towards EU accession nego­ti­a­tions be assessed? What are the next steps in the EU inte­gra­tion process for Moldova? How can the EU and Germany support and accompany Moldova on its European path?
