Czech Republic

We would like to cordially invite you to the debate organized by EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy in cooperation with Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Prague and under the auspices of the UN Information Centre Prague.

This year, it was 15 years since the Czech Republic joined the European Union. To mark this anniversary, EUROPEUM, in cooperation with EACEA in the "Europe for citizens" program, has created a website that reflects on the past 15 years and answers the question of what to expect from the next 15 years in the EU.

What are the possible consequences of Brexit for the Czech Republic's position in the EU? What impact does Brexit have on the European political arena? And what steps could help our country to adapt to new status quo? These are some of the topics discussed in the policy paper prepared by our research fellow Vít Havelka.

In their series, the Dutch newspaper focuses on local eurosceptic tendencies in the countries of the Visegrad group. Christian Lassen and Vít Havelka commented on the current state of affairs in the Czech Republic.
