On behalf of the Austrian Institute for International Affairs – oiip I would like to draw your attention to the following Public Roundtable:
Unity and disunity in Europe:
New approaches to European cooperation and integration?
The European Union, the Western Balkans and the Eastern Partners in wider Europe
The European Union (EU), its Eastern partners and the Western Balkans all share a vital interest in ensuring peace and comprehensive security in Europe as a primary condition for their stability, prosperity and development. To advance this shared interest, the EU relies on different sets of external policies promoting cooperation and / or integration in wider Europe, regardless of the finalité of the process. From Tbilisi to Pristina, from Minsk to Belgrade, the challenges faced by the EU and its partners are very different. But they also show a number of commonalities.
Almost thirty years after the Charter of Paris for a new Europe and in the context of Brexit, the challenge of unity, integration and cooperation in wider Europe remains more topical than ever. This public roundtable, building on both the “Eastern Partnership Reflection Forum” and “Western Balkans Reflection Forum” initiatives, will seek to advance a wider, strategic reflection on the EU’s external approach across its neighbourhoods. How much commonality is there in the EU’s approach towards its Eastern and Western Balkan partners? What can the EU achieve in its changing neighbourhoods, considering its internal fragilities? What is at stake for the EU in the wider geopolitical context? What lessons can be drawn from the EU’s experience in both fields?
