Prague European Summit 2019 | 1989 - 2004 - 2019: Different Faces of Europe

Opening panel discussion of the #PragueSummit19. Some argue that the European Union is more united than ever, following the Brexit negotiations and recent EU crises. Others claim, however, that the internal differences are growing and that the motto of the next phase of European integration will be differentiation. Yet an even bigger perspective is needed: following the euphoria of 1989 and the subsequent rounds of Eastern enlargement, has the European Union of 2019 finally overcome the East-West divide? Are new cleavages emerging or are the old differences revived in the EU? This panel discussion will focus on the long-term evolution of the European Union (and Europe at large) and analyse the face the European Union will wear in the coming years. Speakers: Tomáš Petříček, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech republic Ana Palacio, Former Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs (TBC) Reka Szemerkenyi, Executive Vice President, Center for European Policy Analysis Pawel Swieboda, Deputy Head, European Political Strategy Centre Moderator: Petr Drulák, Ambassador, Embassy of the Czech Republic in Paris
