How Will Hungary’s Political Shift Impact Europe?
21 April 2026
Our subscribers connect live with opinion leaders to discuss energy resilience in Central and Eastern Europe, with a particular focus on the V4 countries and the region’s evolving energy security landscape.
Against the backdrop of ongoing supply disruptions and geopolitical tensions, CEE countries face diverging levels of vulnerability. While some economies remain structurally exposed to external shocks, others have strengthened their resilience through diversification and infrastructure development. Poland, in particular, is emerging as a key regional gas hub, positioning itself as a cornerstone of energy security and a driver of reduced dependence on Russian supplies.

The discussion will explore how regional cooperation frameworks, including the Three Seas Initiative, can enhance integration and mitigate risks linked to global supply routes. It will also assess how recent disruptions – from constraints in the South Caucasus to uncertainty around transit routes such as the Druzhba pipeline – are reshaping the strategic outlook for the region.
Key discussion points:
- What are the key strengths and vulnerabilities of energy systems across the V4?
- How is Poland’s role as a regional gas hub reshaping energy security in CEE?
- What are the geopolitical and market risks facing the region in the coming months?
The event will last one hour, and the first, moderated part will be recorded. The second part of the discussion will be an off-the-record Q&A with speakers.
