Listen "What should the European Political Community look like?"
Episode Synopsis
The European Political Community is a new political grouping proposed by the French president Emmanuel Macron that would include the EU countries, the Balkans, and other nearby states including the United Kingdom. On 6 October 2022, the first meeting of this new configuration will take place. In this live podcast co-organised with Open society foundations and German Council on Foreign Relations, Giuseppe Porcaro invites Jean Pisani-Ferry, Daniela Schwarzer, Shahin Vallée, as well as Milica Delević and Hlib Vyshlinsky, to envision what this grouping should look like and its functions.
