in Europe´s World , n. 29, Spring , 2015 | ||
Latvia’s first stint in the European Union’s rotating presidency offers an opportunity to influence the EU agenda, and Latvia’s priorities include reinforcing the Union’s external role. The country’s President, Andris Berziņš, has underlined the importance of supporting economic development and good governance in all the Eastern Partnership countries. The Eastern Partnership has so far yielded somewhat mixed results, and at times has been a disappointment, however its next summit will take place in Riga in May, and that is expected to see in-depth discussions on the need to rethink it. | ||
