Abstract

Based on a thorough analysis of several EU presidencies in the early 21st century Swedish political scientist Jonas Tallberg created a concept that identifies ways of how Presidency countries work on the creation of their program. In this concept, Tallberg conceptualizes the proces of agenda setting in a broader way and particularly focuses on structuring already existing topics and issues. Tallberg argues that there are three relevant dimensions - socioeconomic, regional and constitutional - shaping Presidency's political preferences. In 2004, the group of Central and Eastern European countries, which share different political, economic and social experience than the old EU member states, joined the EU. Some of these newcomers have already presided over the Council of the EU. The article about analysis of the Czech Presidency aims to review Tallberg's concept for new member countries.
