Euro-skeptic Czech Republic?
Karel Schwarzenberg, FM of Czech Republic | January 15, 2009
Unity in responding to the economic crisis and unity when negotiating a new PCA with Russia is the mantra of the Czech Republic, current holder of the EU Presidency. ++ It is time for skeptics who fear new members' commitment towards the EU to put their worries away. ++ Neither the recency of membership nor the communist past are preventing them from pursuing European interests. ++ Standing alone is not an option when "events have imposed an agenda on Europe that we cannot escape and for which solidarity - true union - will be needed."
