The pilot conference targeted on exploring possible topics and questions for the National Convention. In four panels many interesting personalities took part in defining the primary topics.
Director of EUROPEUM participated in the panel on "Comprehensible and Functioning European Union". He pointed out he considered the EU to be functioning but not very comprehensible organization.
Another speaker, Ivo Šlosarčík, who is also a long-time fellow worker at EUROPEUM, suggested a proposal solution to simplify the EU's work and therefore its comprehensibility.
