Summary/Abstract: The accession of ten countries in 2004, followed by Romania and Bulgaria in 2007, has brought the EU closer to fragile regions in the east and south. There was a need to strengthen relations (including commercial ones) with neighbors. The European Union’s Eastern neighbors have always played a very important role in its foreign policy. The EU’s eastern policy covers not only economic but also political and security issues. Due to similar historical experience, similar problems and strong economic interconnections, partner countries are treated as one region. The purpose of the article is to show the assumptions, essence and main dimensions of the Eastern Partnership in the context of strengthening relations with the eastern neighbors of the European Union.
