"The formula for successful expansion is simple - candidate countries must contribute their efforts, and the European Union must do its part. It's a mutually supportive and interdependent endeavor."President Karis underscored the importance of keeping the EU strong and unified and listening to the citizens' wishes when developing an action plan. He noted that the majority of Europeans want to contribute to sustainable development, reduce energy consumption, and combat inflation.
"Most people believe that partnerships with like-minded countries make the EU more resilient," said Karis. "Considering the developments in neighboring countries, we must certainly develop our defense capabilities and cooperation, including enhancing energy security. Migration, inflation, and people's well-being are also concerns that trouble us all. Finding common solutions to these issues remains vital, and these questions must be on the agenda for the upcoming European Parliament elections."President Karis also urged caution during the European Parliament elections, cautioning against those who offer simplistic solutions to complex problems. He expressed a strong belief that education should be at the core of the EU's existence. According to the President, educated individuals are more critical of populism and disinformation campaigns.
