Analysing and Debating the Future of EU Enlargement – Enlargement Roadshows in the Czech Republic, Poland and Latvia

Project Manager: David Král

Timeframe: completed (January - December 2006)

Executive Summary:

This project strived at raising the profile of policy debate on the implications and challenges of further EU enlargement in three new member states of the EU – the Czech Republic, Poland and Latvia. It tried to stimulate the public debate by organizing public conferences in these countries, raise the profile of the issue in the major national media and raise the awareness of the issue among the key policymakers in the respective states. In each of the new member states, a roadshow involving experts from the potential candidates for EU membership and experts from the other participating new member states was organized. The roadshow included public conference, expert roundtable, and press conference/briefing with journalists. The roadshow in each new member state focused on examining the enlargement policy towards one particular potential candidate country in the following pairs:  Czech Republic - Ukraine, Poland - Macedonia (and Western Balkans generally) and Latvia – Turkey.
