Enhancing cooperation among the Prague Process states

The EU-Belarus Mobility Partnership: The Way Forward

16 October 2020

Briefs

The Mobility Partnership opens up new perspectives for potential cooperation between the signatory EU Member States and the Republic of Belarus. It brings an opportunity to develop a comprehensive migration policy, and to ensure the safe movement of migrants and their social and legal protection. The full potential of the Mobility Partnership is yet to be mobilized. It could provide incentives to improve labour migration legislation, further expand educational programs, pave the way to visa liberalisation or see the launch of new projects on migration.

This policy brief analyses the implementation of the individual policy areas addressed by the Mobility Partnership and outlines a set of corresponding recommendations.
