Abstract

Does the EU know what future they want? And does the EU know what form of future integration process is the right, appropriate or, at least, realistic one? During the last decade, the EU had been weathering a number of crises, in particular, the euro-crisis, the migration crisis and the rule of law crisis. And other crises followed or are following: Brexit as an internal shock which outlined the debate on the future direction of the EU, COVID-19 as an external health shock that started a process of internal reform of the EU in terms of the policies applied. Russia's attack on Ukraine as an external security shock, which follows and reinforces the EU's reformist tendencies, especially in the area of building independence and self-sufficiency. It is more than timely, necessary and indispensable to ask and question political leaders about the future of the EU and the ways in which the EU should and could move forward. It must not remain behind the closed doors of Brussels institutions and government cabinets, but become a shared project with a vision.
