1) Stability in the Neighborhood a Challenge for the New EU and NATO
Members
Lauri LEPIK, Estonian Foreign Policy Institute: The same applies to the
New Neighbors.
One can hardly see how the EUs policy of helping the New Neighbors to
transform themselves will succeed without a very clear and broadly
accepted prospect for the populations of those countries. There are
several examples of successful stick and carrot policies. The first
such example is the enlargement itself... It seems that some of the New
Neighbors have suggested themselves a carrot they would like to have --
visa-free travel between their countries and the enlarged EU. The time
is ripe to seize the moment and the New Members of the EU should be the
natural advocates for this policy. There are at least 5 good reasons why
the New Members should be seriously engaged in promoting visa-free
travel...

2) Moldova's European Policy Options
Nicu POPESCU, Eurojournal.org
There are currently three key issues on the EU-Moldova agenda: the
"Wider Europe - Neighbourhood Policy", EU's role in the Transnistria
settlement process and Moldova's Southeast European aspirations,
including the perspective to join the Stabilisation and Association
Process. Due to external, as well as internal constraints, Moldova's
policy options in dealing with the EU are relatively limited. The two
main reasons for that is Moldova's modest record in promoting
democratisation and reform, and the EU's reluctance to start taking its
eastern neighbourhood seriously in practice, not only in rhetoric. The
present article seeks to put forward certain ideas that could promote
Moldova's EU aspirations in the context of the Wider Europe Policy and
the conflict- resolution process in Transnistria.

3) The emergence of the triangular security link: US-EU-Turkey Corneliu
MANOLE: Turkeys place in the Western security system has changed
considerably since the end of the Cold War. Throughout the global
East-West strategic confrontation, Ankara was the pivotal element of
NATOs southern flank. It contributed to the policy of credible
deterrence in the southern European theatre and its national security
interests were guaranteed by its inclusion in the western security
system.

4) Transnistria and Moldova in the Context of Euro-Atlantic Integration
Boris ASAROV, Pro Europe Movement, Tiraspol: The unstable existence of
the Republic of Moldova, which is the result of the USSR collapse, and
the functioning in the conditions of international non-recognition of
Transnistria give little chances for even a re-integrated state to
develop in a stable way. Taking into account the most optimistic
prognoses, lying apart, it would take 30 years to get into the EU. In
this situation it seems to be more adequate to head for a parallel
bringing of Bessarabian and Transnistrian standards up to European ones
and the subsequent integration into the EU through a synchronous
integration with Romania after its acceptance there in 2007. The
situation becomes even more complex because Transnistria does not have
mechanisms and political will to implement European standards.

DOCUMENTS
1) Sixth meeting of the EU-Moldova Co-operation Council, Brussels, 24
February 2004 The sixth meeting of the Co-operation Council stressed the
importance of the forthcoming EU enlargement for the reinforcement of
the EU-Moldova political and economic independence. The Cooperation
Council welcomed the extension of the PCA to the ten Acceding States.
The EU looks forward to the ratification by Moldova of the PCA
enlargement protocol as soon as possible...

2) Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European
Parliament on relations with Russia The Commission adopted a
Communication on EU-Russia relations which proposes measures to improve
the effectiveness of EU-Russia relations, in particular in light of
increased EU and Russian interdependence, the EU's historic enlargement
on 1 May and the unresolved conflicts in the Newly Independent States
(NIS). It underlines that the EU and Russia should be ready, as
strategic partners, to discuss frankly all issues of concern, including
human rights, media freedom and events in Chechnya in addition to
strengthening co-operation on concrete issues, on the basis of common
interests... The Communication argues that the EU needs to take a more
coherent and more consistent approach to relations with Russia, which
must be founded on the implementation of the common values underlying
the bilateral partnership. It also suggests that the EU should review
and upgrade its policy towards the countries in the southern Caucasus
and the western NIS.
