The draft declaration does reaffirm "the sovereign right of each partner state freely to choose the level of ambition and the goals to which it aspires in its relations with the European Union."

Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine signed an association agreement with the EU in 2014, in spite of pressure from Moscow.
