How Ukraine Can Get Into the EU
8 December 2023
It is difficult to imagine how our post-COVID-19 reality will look like but returning to business as usual is not likely.
We were all caught unprepared. The coronavirus upended our societies and brought our economies to the edge. As of 21 April, the number of confirmed cases globally surpassed 2.5 million, a number that will increase, as many countries will reach an infection peak only in May.
Compared to Italy, Spain and France, countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) have managed to keep the outbreak under relative control, by imposing aggressive containment measures early on. To flatten the curve, governments in all Visegrad countries, except for Poland, declared a state of emergency by mid-March and closed their borders before casualties were confirmed.
Uncertainty is the defining feature of today and tomorrow, as the “Great Lockdown” continues to impact our health, politics, societies and economies. As we look at the CEE region through the complex lens of the COVID-19 crisis, it is worth considering the three most important challenges that countries need to tackle in the coming weeks and months.
