This project is aimed at critical and constructive assessment of the capabilities of the EU for implementing conflict prevention and peacebuilding interventions through sustainable, comprehensive and innovative civilian means.

IWP experts presented their findings on EU involvement in multi-track diplomacy, security sector reform, and decentralization. In particular, Ukrainian and foreign participants discussed such issues as Normandy Format and EU involvement in diplomatic efforts for conflict settlement in Ukraine, EUAM & EUBAM impact on security sector reform and settlement process, and decentralisation in the context of the conflict settlement in Ukraine.
