Abstract
The EU has changed its role from a bystander in the affairs of the Caucasus to that of an interested party w ith a clearly defined interest in the region. The Caucasus is still a troubled territory due to a number of unresolved economic, political and territorial problems.
The EU is trying to expand its model of good governance while developing democratic procedures and solving local conflicts. In the South Caucasus there are three countries that are of strategic importance for the whole of Europe.
Georgia is one of the first countries in the post-Soviet space which has carried out democratic reforms and already reached a high level of assessment by the international community. Nevertheless, there are many potential conflicts that the EU is forced to face.
