Abstract

By structurally analysing the interactions between international organisations, including the European Union, and conflict parties in the Eastern Partnership on what this chapter calls a symbolic level, the factors that have facilitated and impeded conflict resolution are identified. Four reasons explain the status quo: the zero-sum thinking of the conflict parties, the undermined efforts of IOs from the perspective of conflict parties, the principles that guide the objectives of IOs as well as their interests. The focus is on the EU as one of the main actors since 2003 because of the inauguration of the ENP and 2008 as a consequence of the Georgian-Russian war. Based on a model for success and failure, this chapter focuses on the symbolic level to determine that threat perceptions have been much stronger in the Georgia-Abkhazia conflict than in Moldova-Transnistria. Despite the low profile of the EU in Georgia prior to 2008, this analysis still shows the existence of symbolic influence of the EU as well as a pronounced role of the EU in Moldova.

Note that these descriptions of a ‘memorandum’ and document do not provide insight into the peace process. A memorandum stresses the internal nature of a document, and document shows the neutrality, similar to a paper.

According to the account of Swiss diplomat Eduard Brunner, for one of the ten principles, Soviets wanted ‘immutability’ of borders instead of the ‘inviolability’ of borders. See OSCE, CSCE Testimonies, Causes and Consequences of the Helsinki Final Act, 1972–1989 (2013), p. 17. Furthermore, the CSCE was welcomed and initially perceived as a non-threat by Moscow, which believed that the former Soviet countries would opt out of the 1991-dissolved Warsaw Pact to join NATO and EU structures, which they did.

The collaboration between IOs is strongly recommended by scholars, for example Maria Raquel Freire, Conflict and Security in the Former Soviet Union: The Role of the OSCE (Burlington: Ashgate, 2003), p. 67, mentioned that non-communication between Vienna and the Missions has been a problem.

On 9 July, a group of armed men hijacked a helicopter carrying 17 people inside the Georgian-controlled Kodori Valley in Abkhazia. Among them were a Georgian minister, leaders of the Abkhaz government-in-exile and a group of journalists. Later the same day, after beating and robbing some of the hostages, the kidnappers, who were reportedly ethnic Georgians, released the hostages. The specific motivation and identity of the hostage-takers was not established; however, it appeared that this was an isolated incident and not related to the Abkhaz-Georgian conflict; yet, on 11 July, two people were killed and one kidnapped in an ambush in the Gal/i District. On 12 July, a bomb exploded within the premises of the Gal/i Administration. Given this unstable situation, the UNHCR withdrew its international staff from Abkhazia. SEC.FR/623/99, p. 7.
