TV Nova | Russian Interference in European Elections
Russia has a significant interest in influencing European elections, which raises awareness in the European Parliament. The issue of Russia's interference will also be addressed in the plenary session. Measures such as restricting visits to the Parliament building or holding events on its premises are being considered. Nevertheless, member states still play a crucial role in foreign and security policy of EU, as commented Jonáš Syrovátka, a researcher at the EUROPEUM Institute, for main evening news broadcast on TV Nova.

ČT24 | The role of MEPs in the eyes of Czech citizens
Interest in the European Parliament elections remains low, and increased turnout is not expected this year either. The Czech perception of the European Union is partly shaped by political expressions, influencing a rather eurosceptic public perception. Although Czech MEPs have the potential to contribute significantly within the Parliament, the public has only limited awareness of their work and influence. Speculations about future positions within the ECR faction and possible commissioner positions are still premature. Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, opened these topics on the evening broadcast 90’ on ČT24.

ČT24 | Role europoslanců v očích obyvatel Česka
Zájem o volby do Evropského parlamentu zůstává nízký a ani letos se neočekává zvýšená účast. Český obraz Evropské unie je částečně formován politickými vyjádřeními, což ovlivňuje spíše euroskeptické veřejné mínění. Ačkoliv čeští poslanci mají potenciál významně přispívat v rámci Parlamentu, veřejnost má o jejich práci a vlivu jen omezené povědomí. Spekulace ohledně budoucích postů v rámci frakce Evropských konzervativců a reformistů i možných pozic v Komisi jsou stále předčasné. O těchto tématech mluvil Viktor Daněk, zástupce ředitele Institutu EUROPEUM, v pořadu 90’ na ČT24.

TV Nova | Strengthening of sanctions against Russia's allies
The anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the European Union are not having the desired effect. After two years, it is becoming clear that the sanctions are hitting the Russian economy, but are not preventing them from being circumvented, with Asian countries, led by China, playing a major role. Thus, the Union included several companies from China and Hong Kong in the February round of sanctions. Viktor Danek, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented on the possible consequences in a report for the main broadcast news TV Nova.

ČRo Plus | Why Martina Dlabajová was not appointed as EU's small and medium-sized enterprises Envoy
Czech MEP Martina Dlabajová had applied for the post of EU's small and medium-sized enterprises Envoy last fall, but at the end of January Markus Pieper was appointed to this role.

ČRo Plus | Viktor Daněk: Proevropská česká vláda a reforma EU
České vlády se vždy pasovaly do role výrazných příznivců rozšíření Evropské unie a nejinak je tomu i u té současné. Kabinet Petra Fialy z ODS by dokonce možná byl rád považovaný za ten, který pro přistoupení nových členů do společného klubu zatím z českých vlád udělal nejvíc.
