RTVS | The European Parliament strongly condemned Hungary
On Thursday, the European Parliament condemned the Hungarian government's deliberate, continuous and systematic efforts to undermine the fundamental values of the European Union. The resolution, which was supported by 345 MEPs, expresses deep concern at the further erosion of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights in Hungary. What are the main reasons why the European Parliament has expressed its so far strongest reservations against Hungary? Žiga Faktor, director of our Brussels office and deputy director, commented on RTVS.

E15 | Europe is terrified of Orbán at the head of EU institutions. It must speed up the selection of a new "EU president"
The first media storm around the European Parliament elections was unleashed by the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, when he unexpectedly announced last weekend that he was going to run for the European Parliament himself in June and, if successful, would resign early from his current post. However, this means that unless the EU27 quickly agrees on his successor, the powers of the "European president" will pass to EU troublemaker Viktor Orban, whose Hungary will hold the EU presidency from the summer. Our head of the Brussels office, Žiga Faktor, commented for E15 on the likelihood of this happening and what it would mean for the functioning of the EU.

E15 | Evropa se děsí Orbána v čele unijních institucí. Musí urychlit výběr nového „prezidenta EU“
První mediální smršť kolem voleb do Evropského parlamentu rozpoutal šéf Evropské rady Charles Michel, když minulý víkend nečekaně oznámil, že se chystá v červnu sám kandidovat do europarlamentu a v případě úspěchu se předčasně vzdá své současné funkce. To však znamená, že pokud se sedmadvacítka urychleně nedohodne na jeho nástupci, přejdou pravomoci „evropského prezidenta“ na unijního potížistu Viktora Orbána, jehož Maďarsko bude od léta předsedat EU. K tomu, jaká je pravděpodobnost, že se tak stane, a co by to pro fungování EU znamenalo, se pro deník E15 vyjádřil náš vedoucí bruselské kanceláře Žiga Faktor.

Právo | Merchant Orbán cashed in Brussels
The EU opens accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova, contrary to Hungary's wishes. Even so, Hungary did not come out of the negotiations deprived - the European Commission released to Hungary 250 billion crowns from the funds blocked so far. How much longer can Orban hold Ukraine hostage in his decision-making? Our deputy director Viktor Daněk commented on the topic for Právo.

Analysis | Gradual Integration Process: Towards Restoring Effectiveness And Credibility Of EU Enlargement
Discussions on further changes to the enlargement methodology may reinforce the image of EU membership as a moving target with constantly changing rules, especially as the current methodology has still not been fully applied. Within the framework of the current methodology, the European Commission should develop a new strategy that would specify its approach to the gradual integration of (potential) candidates into the EU and the conditions governing this process. The 2018 Western Balkans Strategy set out initiatives, some of which are still valid today and can serve as the basis for a new enlargement strategy. Writes Jana Juzová, Senior Research Fellow.
