Prague to host Eastern Partnership Summit in April 2009
The first ever Eastern Partnership Summit which will bring together representatives of 27 EU member states and six post-soviet countries will be held on the Czech capital in April 2009, Radio Prague reports.

The Eastern Partnership was approved in December 2008 by the EU leaders. It envisages closer cooperation with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Belarus' participation is also possible if the country accepts a number of democratization conditions.
