The third European Union Eastern Partnership summit took place in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on 28-29 November 2013. It came at a crucial time for some of the countries of Eastern Europe and was seen by some as a battle for influence between the EU and Russia over countries such as Armenia, Moldova and, crucially, Ukraine. Fears were raised that the meeting would end in fiasco when Ukraine announced at the last minute that it would not sign.
