Nagorno-Karabakh Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011

Transnistria Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011

Geopolitical context Russia: post-Soviet space/limit Western influence control of Black Sea security dilemma in the Caucasus EU: energy security stability and security in the neighbourhood Relevance of Kosovo precedent Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011

EU’s involvement : bilateral PCAs : EUSRs for South Caucasus and Moldova : ENP and bilateral Action Plans Civilian missions: EUBAM Moldova (2005), EUMM Georgia (2008) Mediation in August 2008 crisis, co-chair of Geneva talks Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011

The EU in Georgia Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011

The EU in Moldova Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011

EU’s involvement: problems Low profile, no coherent strategy (i.e. vis-à-vis Armenia and Azerbaijan) ENP review: no news Current restructuring: EUSRs No military/economic access to de facto states Out of OSCE Minsk Group on N-K, only observer in 5+2 format on Transnistria Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011

Conclusion The EU plays a marginal role EU « reactive » rather than « proactive » (i.e. no peace plan proposal) Shortcomings of inflexible non-recognition policy Actors: EU or member states? Lack of a coherent strategy – no change in the foreseeable future Marco Siddi EXACT seminar at FIIA 7 September 2011
