BLOG: The Sixth Sanctions Package & the Visegrad Group’s Reliance on Putin’s Gas
Jakub Ferenčík wrote a blog on the current topic: The Sixth Sanctions Package & the Visegrad Group’s Reliance on Putin’s Gas. Russia's aggression in Ukraine has necessitated another package of sanctions, this time in the energy sector. Due to the lack of alternatives for gas supplies, the Visegrad Four countries had a problem with the implementation of the latest sanctions package. In the end, the EU found a consensus and introduced exemptions for the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

BLOG: The Sixth Sanctions Package & the Visegrad Group’s Reliance on Putin’s Gas
Jakub Ferenčík napsal blog na aktuální téma: Šestý balíček sankcí a závislost Visegrádské skupiny na Putinově plynu. Ruská agrese na Ukrajině si vyžádala další balíček sankcí, tentokrát v oblasti energetiky. Kvůli absenci alternativ pro dodávky plynu měly některé země Visegrádské čtyřky problém se zavedením nejnovějšího balíčku sankcí. Nakonec však EU našla konsenzus a zavedla výjimky pro Českou republiku, Slovensko a Maďarsko.

E15.cz: The Germans and the Dutch are looking for a replacement for Russian gas wherever possible. They also want to mine in the North Sea area
The newly announced possibility of gas extraction in the North Sea will not solve the current situation. "In the medium and long term, it is only one of many solutions to diversify resources. But the question is whether it will have a significant impact on the European gas market and European independence." However, raw material extraction projects in the EU must be supported.

BLOG: French elections amidst the French Presidency – a reflection of the impact of the French Presidential campaign
Esteban Gas has written a blog about the French elections that took place during the French presidency. While Macron’s re-election at a glance enables another term of continuation of the existing French agenda in the Union, the tightening of the gap between the far-right and Macron will have to be acknowledged politically in the years to come and might affect the EU.

BLOG: Francouzské volby uprostřed francouzského předsednictví - reflexe dopadu francouzské prezidentské kampaně
Esteban Gas napsal blog o proběhlých francouzských volbách, které se konaly během francouzského předsednictví. Macronovo znovuzvolení sice na první pohled umožňuje další období pokračování stávající francouzské agendy v EU, ale prohlubující se propast mezi krajní pravicí a Macronem bude muset být v příštích letech politicky uznána a může mít dopad na EU.

Aktuálně.cz: How to reduce dependence on Russia: Europe and others tackle gas, oil and coal cuts
Our researcher, Kateřina Davidová, commented for Aktuálně.cz on the latest package of sanctions against Russia by the European Union. According to her, the biggest impact on the Russian economy would be the restriction or ban on the purchase of mineral resources from the largest European customers or even from the whole European union. The best alternative to these energies would be to switch to renewable energy sources, says Kateřina Davidová.

INVITATION: Café Evropa online: The future of European energy - how to ensure stable and clean energy sources without Russia?
We would like to invite you to the Café Evropa debate on 21 March at 17:30 on the topic "The future of European energy - how to ensure stable and clean energy sources without Russia?". The Russian invasion of Ukraine has, among other things, further fuelled the question of energy security in the Czech Republic and the EU and the future of energy in our country. The current security situation points to the need to diversify energy sources as soon as possible, i.e. to secure energy supplies from different regions and countries in order to avoid excessive dependence on Russia. There are also views in the public debate that coal extraction could be temporarily increased, which would enable some countries to cover any shortfalls in resources. Is a complete or even partial halt of Russian gas supplies to the Czech Republic and the European Union a realistic option? What impact would this have on our energy security? How much further increase in energy prices can we expect in this case? How should EU countries react and help households and industry cope with the expected increase? Could a possible temporary increase in coal extraction mean a return to fossil fuels and the end of the EU's climate ambitions? Or could the current problematic situation further accelerate the energy transition?
