On June 10, 2010, Chairwoman of Transparency International Anti-corruption Center Amalia Kostanyan participated in a Conference "The EU and Civil Society in the South Caucasus: a Common Effort to Build Sustainable Peace" organized by German Association for East European Studies, Eurasia Partnership Foundation, and Robert Bosch Stiftung. The conference, held in Berlin, considered the role of civil society within the new peace-building landscape.

The conference aimed to take stock of the institutional setting, which civil society organizations faced. It served as a basis to identify opportunities for confidence-building initiatives suitable to reduce mistrust, to hold governments accountable and to support the EU's conflict resolution activities.

Among the issues addressed were dimensions of the EU's engagement - Eastern Partnership instruments, EaP Civil Society Forum, the EU's role in conflict resolution initiatives, interaction between civil society and the EU.
