Replay - Affirming European security in times of uncertainty: Poland’s priorities for its Presidency
Poland will assume the presidency of the Council of the EU throughout the first semester of 2025, when geopolitical tensions are likely to peak. Watch the replay of the videoconference "Affirming European security in times of uncertainty. Poland’s priorities of its presidency of the Council".
The war in Ukraine is still raging, the situation in the Middle East is deteriorating and incoming US administration after the re-election of Donald Trump opens a new chapter of uncertainty in transatlantic relations. The Polish presidency, against this background, has defined as chief priority in the Council to support the strengthening of European security in all dimensions: external, internal, informational, economic as well as in relation to energy, food and health. Will the EU be able to rise to these challenges? What answer can Poland help shaping on the EU level in the six months to come? And how can France and Austria contribute to affirming European security in this critical moment?
