iata un policy memo scris pentru oficialii europeni in ajunul vizitei lui vlad filat si iurie leanca la bruxelles. la ecfr scriem destul de frecvent astfel de memo atunci cand este cazul. acum, de exemplu, intreg ecfr este implicat in scrierea unuio memo colectiv pentru noua comisie europeana. scriem memo-uri atunci cand cineva isi asuma un nou post important (de exemplu sec.gen. nato, sau trimisul special pentru afganistan) sau cand au loc careva evenimente foarte importante (razboiae, revolutii, etc). uneori aceste memo sunt facute publice, iar uneori nu. in cazul acestui memo povestea e urmatoare. am scris o pagina de recomandari politice acum 10 zile. sefu mi-a zis ca ar fi bine sa scriem un policy brief ceva mai larg explicand ce se intampla cu moldova si nu doar ce putem face. am scris vreo 7 pagini. dupa aia am redus acele 7 pagini la acele 1.5 pagina initiale pe care le aveam acum 10 zile. restul -probabil va fi publicat ca policy brief candva undeva…

Expectations of the Eastern partnership are today minimal.
