"The pursuit of common security interest can combat discourses that might otherwise disunite us"
Speakers:
Robert Benjamin, Senior Associate and Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe, NDI
Matthew G. Boyse, Senior Fellow, Center on Europe and Eurasia, Hudson Institute; Former Deputy Assistant Secretary, State Department, Washington DC
Zsolt Németh, Chairman, Foreign Affairs Committee, Hungarian National Assembly, Budapest
Moderator: Piotr Gulczyński, Counselor for Sponsorships, World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, Piacenza
Central Questions: In the face of contradictory pressures and strategic challenges, what is the real current state of Central Europe and its transatlantic relations, how secure are the countries of the region, how stable is the region and its European and transatlantic ties? On the basis of the last two and half years of Russia’s war and the reactions to it, what direction should Central Europe take both internally, in terms of the region’s cooperation frameworks, as well as externally, in the relations of the countries of the region to Europe, to the US? Is the current divide going to cut the region into two for good, making it impossible to revert back to the concept of a cooperative and unified Central Europe - and if so, what security concepts will drive its future?
