The Hill | The threat of Russian nationalism looms over Europe
The threat of Russian nationalism poses a serious danger to Europe, as emphasized by the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell in his speech in April. Russia is attempting to reassert its influence, particularly through its war against Ukraine, which undermines European security. What impact does the reemergence of Russian nationalism, supported by China, have on European security, and how should the West respond to this geopolitical reality? In his commentary for the American news website The Hill, Hugo Blewett-Mundy, an external collaborator and research fellow at EUROPEUM Institute, addresses this topic.

Policy Paper | Barriers and benefits of energy communities in the European Union
Energetické komunity jsou účinným prostředkem decentralizace a obnovy našich energetických systémů pomocí udržitelných řešení, protože jsou obvykle založeny na obnovitelné energii. Začaly se objevovat již v 70. letech 20. století, avšak k jejich výraznému rozvoji došlo až v posledních letech, a to i z hlediska jejich zavedení do legislativy EU. Zejména v zemích západní a severní Evropy se tato koncepce již těší velké oblibě. Naproti tomu v zemích střední a východní Evropy (dále jen SVE) se energetická společenství teprve začínají vytvářet. Tento politický brief (založený na literatuře a rozhovorech s různými zúčastněnými stranami ) zkoumá výhody, které mohou energetická společenství přinést, a především hlavní překážky, které jim stále stojí v cestě k většímu rozvoji v regionu střední a východní Evropy - a zejména v zemích Visegrádské skupiny (V4). Jak tyto iniciativy postupují, sdílení osvědčených postupů zajistí úspěch komunitní energetiky v energetickém přechodu. Píše Alžbeta Gavalcová.

iDnes.cz | What exactly is in the migration pact
The European Union has approved a migration pact, and from 2026 individual states will either accept their share of refugees or pay to opt out of this obligation. However, since the Czech Republic has already accepted a large number of refugees since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, it should temporarily be exempt from this obligation. However, as noted by Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the Institute for European Policy EUROPEUM, this is not an exemption explicitly granted to Czechia. Exemptions are determined based on the number of people granted asylum or similar protection in a given country.

BLOG | The Use of Article 7 as a Protection Tool for the Rule of Law and European Values
With Hungary taking over the EU presidency in July 2024, many are questioning the EU's ability to promote its values in its member states. Indeed, the EU is about to hand over its presidency to a state that has been criticised for its actions that threaten the rule of law and is subject to the procedure set out in Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), writes Maxime Painot in his blog.
