Prague European Summit

12 – 13 November

The pilot year of Prague European Summit was launched on Thursday November 12th in the majestic premises of the Lobkowicz Palace. The intense two-day programme began with welcoming remarks by the directors of the three organizing think-tanks; Mr Vladimír Bartovic of EUROPEUM Institute for European Policy, Mr Radko Hokovský of European Values Think-Tank and Mr Petr Kratochvíl of the Institute of International Relations. All three highlighted the importance of common discussions about the pressing issues Europe is currently facing (i.e. the Ukraine and refugee crises and the rising threat of Daesh), a goal for which the Prague European Summit should serve as one of the platforms.
