“Today a reload of some reforms is observed but still the Index did not cover this given that the Index evaluates the progress achieved until end of July 2014. Moldova kept the first place however Georgia, which is on the second, is very close now to Moldova. The gap between the three countries which signed the association agreement and the other 3 which did not (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus) increased and it becomes obvious that there is a multi-speed Eastern Partnership”, – said expert of the IWP Lenid Litra.
