Report | Monitoring of the EU's Green Policies: Perceptions and Narratives in the Czech and Slovak Information Space

February 02, 2023

The European Green Deal is the core of the current climate strategy of the European Union, which has set the goal of making Europe a carbon-neutral continent by 2050. In an effort to monitor and counter disinformation narratives about the deal, IRI's Beacon project launched an initiative called the “European Green Deal: Mapping perceptions in Central and Eastern Europe,” in which six partner organizations studied how the deal is perceived in Bulgaria, Czechia, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. Our project manager and juniour researcher, Tatiana Mindeková, analyzed narratives spread about the Green Deal and the EU’s green policies through Czech chain emails as well as through selected mainstream media and websites known for spreading disinformation.

VISEGRAD/ISIGHT: Czechia and Slovakia lead the ways

August 23, 2022

Our senior researcher Jana Juzová wrote an article for VISEGRAD/INSIGHT on "The Czech Republic and Slovakia in the lead". Since July, the Czech Republic has held the presidency of the EU Council and Slovakia the presidency of the Visegrad Four. Although the V4 is now in the shadow of Czech and Slovak foreign policy, this does not mean that it is less important or that it is falling apart. However, the V4 crisis triggered by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán may be an opportunity for the Czech Republic and Slovakia to determine the direction of the Visegrad Four.

VISEGRAD/INSIGHT: Česko a Slovensko v čele

August 23, 2022

Naše seniorní výzkumná pracovnice Jana Juzová napsala článek pro VISEGRAD/INSIGHT na téma "Česko a Slovensko v čele". Od července převzala Česká republika předsednictví v Radě EU a Slovensko zas předsednictví ve Visegrádské čtyřce. Přestože V4 je nyní ve stínu české a slovenské zahraniční politiky, neznamená to, že je méně důležitá či dojde k jejímu rozpadu. Krize ve V4 vyvolaná maďarským premiérem Viktorem Orbánen však může být příležitost pro Česko a Slovensko určit směr Visegrádské čtyřky.
