In-person event:
The European Political Community (EPC) is meant to provide a platform to discuss strategic issues in Europe, filling a much-needed gap for unscripted dialogue among leaders of EU member states, candidate countries and other European countries after Russia blew up the continental security order with its full-scale war against Ukraine. Following the second EPC summit held in Moldova on 1 June, the time is ripe to take stock of what the European Political Community has delivered thus far and how the energy of European leaders can best be channelled moving forward.
On this occasion, an EPC Observatory will be launched. Driven by civil society, it will be used to enhance transparency and support upcoming EPC Presidencies and members as well as the general public in monitoring the implementation of commitments made and specific deliverables agreed at the European leaders’ level.
