Abstract
After the events of 2011, Tunisia has chosen a democratic path. The Transatlantic Community, which considers 'the Tunisian model' to be an example for neighboring states, has given considerable support in this process. Nevertheless, stability in Tunisia remains fragile; the country has serious problems in the spheres of economy and security, which threaten the development of democratic processes. In this regard, the country needs EU and US support, and they have already started rendering assistance. The article is devoted to the study of the policies of Washington and Brussels in Tunisia aimed at ensuring sustainable democratic development of the country.
