    CoE, EU launch 4mln cooperation projects for post-soviet states

    On May 6, the Council of Europe and the European Union have officially
    started work on a series of projects, worth 4 million over 30 months,
    to promote democracy, good governance and stability in Armenia,
    Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine.

    The aim of the cooperation projects, which will be run by the Council
    of Europe as part of the EU's Eastern Partnership initiative, is to
    provide support to reform processes in the six countries involved and
    to help them move closer towards Council of Europe and EU standards in
    areas such as electoral standards and judicial reform, as well as
    fighting cybercrime and corruption.

    The agreement will also provide a multilateral framework for
    addressing issues raised by the Council of Europe's different
    monitoring and advisory bodies, including the European Court of Human
    Rights, and for enabling the participating countries to exchange
    information and best practices, the Council of Europe said on its
    official website.

    The Council of Europe's Director of Political Advice and Cooperation,
    Claudia Luciani, said: `This joint endeavor in key areas of our
    expertise is a further demonstration of the excellent cooperation
    between the Council of Europe and the EU in promoting common European
    values across the whole continent.'
