While the European Union (EU) and the United States have tried to advance specific assistance initiatives in the transitioning countries, some of which were announced more than two years ago, they have not made as much headway as hoped over the past year. In part, the lack of progress is due to serious political and security challenges in these countries, yet bureaucratic delays, insufficient funding, and inadequate political will in Brussels and Washington also hampered success Notes "September 2013."
