Summary/Abstract: Parliamentary elections in Georgia, presidential elections in Moldova and local elections in Ukraine: the Eastern Partnership sets its course for the next five years. None of the campaigns avoided scandals and surprises, and the final outcome of the vote has not yet been decided. In Belarus, protests against dishonest elections and authoritarian regime do not subside. Armenia and Azerbaijan are facing an even more difficult choice: to alter for the diplomatic conflict resolution in Nagorno-Karabakh and start negotiations or to continue hostilities that claim dozens of lives. What role can and should the European Union play in resolving this and other conflicts in the Eastern Partnership countries? What tools are in the arsenal of Brussels, and which still need to be invented? After all, the request of partner countries for closer attention from the EU to the topic of frozen and active conflicts in the region is more than obvious. All these and other important October developments in the Eastern Partnership are analyzed in our digest. //// CONTENT: Analytica: Eastern Partnership as a Test of the EU’s Commitment to Conflicts Resolution // Azerbaijan: Internal Problems Postponed for the War // Armenia Struggles with War over Nagorno-Karabakh // Belarus: Violence against Protesters and Diplomatic Scandals // Georgia: Street Protests or One-Party Parliament? // Moldova: on the Finishing Straight // How not to get Ukraine Fatigue?
