This contribution discusses the role of the European Union in Georgia, with specific focus on improving the effectiveness of the European Union Monitoring Mission (EUMM). Now that the situation on the ground is relatively "stable", what kind of role should the EU play in Georgia for achieving sustainable peace? It stands to reason that the EUMM should focus not only on early warning, since it is necessary but insufficient, but also on other activities, e.g., post-conflict stabilisation. Moreover, this article emphasizes the importance of conflict transformation for addressing protracted conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia via the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism (IPRM), which was established in tandem with the Geneva International Discussions.
