| Summary/Abstract |
NEVER BEFORE, throughout its four-year history, has the Eastern Partnership (EaP) attracted so much attention as in the months that followed the Vilnius Summit of November 28-29, 2013 at which Ukraine did not sign the Association Agreement with the European Union. From the very beginning, the EU Eastern initiative raised many questions and invited criticism the vehemence of which depended on the critics' political positions. The results and, what was more important, the practical effects of this policy represented by the Vilnius Summit called for an urgent revision of the underlying concepts and their practical implementation and also motivations of the European initiative and European strategies of the key players and their allies. It proved to be even more important to register the attitude to it at all levels where it should have been formulated and was formulated at the very beginning.
