The events were attended by EU representatives and members of local Governments in all countries. 

Ambassadors of the three countries spoke about the importance of the document. They also stressed a high possibility of Russia pressuring Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine after the important document was signed.

The documents were assessed as a "watershed moment” for all three countries.

Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine signed the partnership agreements with the EU on June 27.
