European Choice: How Czech membership in the EU has changed since 2004
More than twenty years ago, we said “yes” to the European Union — and since then, we’ve been balancing between sovereignty and cooperation, between Brussels and Prague. What have we gained, and what have we had to let go of? Is it possible to remain an independent state while being an active member of the European team?
29. October 2025
In this debate, we will return to the crucial milestone of 2004 and explore how EU accession has transformed Czech politics, the economy, and our role in Europe.
We will open questions about transferred competences, value orientation, and what it truly means today to be “in the Union.”
Come listen and join the discussion about the Czech journey through the European labyrinth.
