Georgia and Azerbaijan are cooperating on the sustainable use of the Kura river. Since a long time, Georgia and Azerbaijan have been working on developing bilateral agreement on the transboundary water cooperation (Zedginidze et al. 2013) with special focus on  flood prevention and waste water management. In addition, both countries meet several times to identify priorities for further trans-boundary cooperation, such as capacity building, data bases updates and development of information sharing systems (Strosser et al., 2017). However, the efficiency of those bilateral agreements, not only between Georgia and Azerbaijan but also between Georgia and Armenia,  and between Armenia and Azerbaijan, remains uncertain as hydropolitics in the region are very much tied with other economic, political and security dynamics (Yildiz, 2017).

    There is also bilateral agreement between the Government of the Republic of Belarus and the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on the joint use and protection of transboundary waters (entered into force on June 13, 2002).
