  • Poland and the Czech Republic: Advocates of the EU Enlargement?

    Until recently the EU enlargement used to be the most effective instrument in the EU foreign policy. Thanks to this policy at the turn of the 20th and 21st century profound and positive changes took place in the Baltic countries, Central Europe, Balkans and Turkey. Nowadays, however, the enlargement is facing a serious crisis. This publication is an outcome of a common Czech-Polish initiative with the European dimension (more information here).
