Black Sea region countries have diverse political systems, ranging from developed democracies to authoritarian regimes. Communist past and a lack of democratic experience have stalled or reversed democratisation processes in many cases. Flawed legal systems and a public distrust of institutions have been paired with growing executive power in many countries. Increasing inequality and unresolved conflicts undermine pro‐democratic reforms as well. In seeking to enhance democratic transformation, civil society groups should be given broad practical support. Aid to states should be linked to democratic reform, and combined with substantial assistance for institutional and administrative capacity building. Judicial reforms and a stronger rule of law will be critical in stabilizing the region's political and economic systems. The EU, in particular, needs to develop a coherent regional policy, which must include cooperation with Russia and Turkey
