The European Neighborhood Policy is a European foreign policy instrument which is intended for less developed countries that are neighbours of the European Union to facilitate reforms that would allow them to further develop and improve cooperation with EU member states. In the frame of the European neighbourhood policy, on May 7, 2009., the Eastern Partnership has been established. The Eastern partnership countries have been originated from the former Soviet Union, namely: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The aim of this paper is to bring the importance of the European Union for the Eastern partnership countries. Eastern Partnership member countries have the task of meeting the conditions prescribed by the EU, because this allows them to better cooperate. EU does not have a big desire for these countries to become their members due to unresolved political and war conflicts within those countries. EU is helping the Eastern partnership countries with the financing their projects from the EU budget.
