Ukraine and the Euro-Atlantic Community: A Strategic Dialogue January 28, 2005 / Kiev
On January 28–30, 2005, the German Marshall Fund and the Heinrich Böll Foundation (HBF), in cooperation with the Kiev-based Center for European and International Studies, convened the second of a two-part strategic dialogue entitled “Ukraine and the Euro–Atlantic Community” in Kiev, Ukraine.
This event follows a seminar in September of last year — and Ukraine’s Orange Revolution more recently — that addressed Ukraine’s increasingly pivotal role in the new neighborhood of the enlarged Europe–Atlantic community. For this dialogue, GMF and HBF brought together senior policy-makers and analysts from across the political spectrum in Ukraine and from a wide range of countries and institutions in Europe and the United States to address rationales, approaches, and policies for developing the relationship between Ukraine and the transatlantic community.
Among the issues discussed were the consolidation of democracy following the Orange Revolution and with an eye to the March 2006 parliamentary elections; removing tensions with Russian and reconciling Ukraine's European aspirations with its relationship with Russia; and engagement in the wider Black Sea region.
