Although the Western Balkans and the Black Sea region of the EaP countries are recognized as European, Russia’s direct involvement in the latter region excluded it from the enlargement programme with the EU. Despite some differences, the Black Sea group is very similar to the Western Balkans, particularly in terms of the political system, as well as social, economic, and cultural features. Also, the Eastern Partnership countries vary much more in attitudes towards the EU and NATO than the Western Balkans, where all countries support EU membership.

Russian-German Gas Pipeline, U.S. Threats - The Warsaw Institute Foundation

It seems that the United States will be unable to hinder the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project. Highly dangerous for Central Europe and Ukraine, the pipeline is just one of some bargaining chips used in the geopolitical game between the United States on the one hand while Russia and Germany on the other. Nonetheless, Washington may take other steps, also business ones, that will to a great extent diminish negative consequences for U.S. allies in Europe once the pipeline becomes operational.
