European Neighborhood Policy (ENP)

The European Neighborhood Policy (ENP) is an initiative by the European Union aimed at building strong relationships with countries located near its borders, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Mediterranean. Established in 2004, the ENP seeks to promote stability, security, and prosperity by encouraging political dialogue, economic cooperation, and social ties. Through various programs, the EU provides support to neighboring countries in areas like governance, education, and trade, helping them align more closely with European standards. The goal is to create a partnership that benefits both the EU and its neighbors by fostering mutual growth and reducing risks of conflict.
