The event will take place on 2nd October 2015, 16:00 – 17:15, within the renowned European Forum for New Ideas, held in Sopot, Poland.
The discussion will be centred around three key questions and areas:
- Would new cooperation concepts (such as Intermarum – Baltic Sea/Black Sea) be helpful?
- Is the experience of Georgia or Moldova relevant for the case of Ukraine?
- What should be the role and strategy of Poland, the Baltic States and the EU in the long-term cooperation with Ukraine?
