Enlargement is a Strategic Investment

Interviews 1st July 2019

Candidate countries must meet all accession criteria, while the enlargement process must be credible with respect to both the EU and candidate countries. The EU should also show empathy for the difficulties being dealt with by accession countries. It is a complex process that implies a shared vision of the future, commitments and their implementation, hard work and mutual trust – Peter Pellegrini

Comment 1st July 2019

Greece’s experience shows that a country mustn’t give in to the temptation to substantially raise its public debt in conditions of low interest rates

It is difficult to even orientate oneself in the midst of the 5th industrial revolution, with global and large-scale challenges like the climate crisis and accelerating environmental threats, risks related to population growth, political instabilities or autonomous intelligence. Can a future-proof education lead to a future-proof society and spark innovation?

FOCUS: Does conventional agriculture (still) represent our chance on the world market?

Serbia Can Utilise It’s Potentials More Intelligently

Focus 1st July 2019

If the export of conventional agriculture products implies wheat and corn, then we have long since learned the lesson that their production contributes little to economic growth and profitable exports. However, if we diversify production, focus on products with higher added value and introduce high standards in production, the possibility exists that we can generate profits on the resources we possess
