Video Recap: US Elections’ Impact on CEE Security
6 November 2024
8 March 2021
Exclusive series of five meetings with Transatlantic speakers on the future of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries.
Instead of the EU’s postponed EaP summit, Visegrad Insight together with the German Marshall Fund of the US (Black Sea Trust) organises an international community online summit to discuss pressing challenges for Eastern Europe.
During the week of 15-19 March, we will discuss in five meetings the validity of the EaP framework for the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, explore new policy directions for a dynamically changing international environment and put a spotlight on societal and economic trends that are often manifested only at hard-to-foresee events in the region.
These discussions are meant to serve as a cumulative outcome of the special scenario-based report we launched last year to trace dynamics and charting possible trajectories for Eastern Europe to take over the coming ten years.
