Abstract

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the European Union's Eastern Partnership program in the post-crisis period. The main features of this program in modern conditions and further prospects for its development, taking into account the consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic for the European Union and the countries participating in this program, are considered. The author analyzes attitude of the EU leadership to the individual participants of the program and identifies priorities in relation to the various countries represented in it. To overcome the social and economic consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic, the European Commission decided to provide financial assistance to the participating countries, but the amount of this assistance for individual countries depended on the state of relations between the EU and the leadership of these countries. It is proved in the article that the EU currently has the most favorable relations with three countries participating in the program: Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, which have openly declared a policy of rapprochement with the EU in the political and economic fields. The author outlines positions and expectations of all the countries participating in the program in the nearest future as well as in the longer term.
