At the time when the sense of acute crisis of European political community had finally withered but uncertainty remained as the EU was to become a union of one less, trust in the public institutions was challenged across the continent, social paranoia empowered the prophets of easy solutions to complex problems, disinformat on campaigns posed ever increasing challenges that the external environment submitted no shortage of either, an illustrious crowd of statesmen, public servants, academics, businessmen, journalists and young leaders gathered in Prague again to engage in a frank debate about which direction the EU should take to advance the European idea and the vision of peace and prosperity on the continent. It was no accident. The Prague European Summit had become an established forum for such dialogue. Over the course of three days, many pressing issues of today – and of tomorrow – were debated in a variety of formats: from exclusionary populism, the prospects of EU’s strategic autonomy or the role in the Union’s neighbourhood, the future of labour, ramifications of the new financial framework to the thorny dynamic of the transatlantic relationship. To maintain and benefit from the EU’s transformative potential, in caring for the less fortunate or the environment, both at home and abroad, the Union’s institutions – truly historical achievements in the century of two world wars, countless genocides and economic crisis of unprecedented proportions – can no longer be taken for granted. A conversation must continue of how to best adapt the EU to the new geopolitical, economic and social realities faced by European societies, and how to preserve in Europe a space for authentic politics in which various interests meet and compete, but which also allows for compromise and collective action. A conversation must continue, and we are pleased to assure you that it will, soon enough, at the fifth Prague European Summit that is to take place on May 27-29, 2019. Symbolically, it will launch just as the final results of the European Parliament election will be announced, foresh dowing that the key subjects of discussion will include the many critical junctures that Europe is now undergoing, from the new political configuration in the institutions (European Parliament, European Commission) to Brexit or the culmination of the Bratislava Process at the Sibiu Summit. Economy and growth, external affairs, the future of European democracy and her manifold internal challenges, and innovation and technology will be featured both in the main programme and the many side events that our production team is already planning tirelessly.

It is than natural to denote 2019 as Europe’s “Year of Change”. As we prepare to launch this year’s Prague European Summit conference, we anxiously await the results of the European Parliament election that may determine the Union’s course for the foreseeable future. Shortly, we will see the formation of a new Commission with a new President at the helm. We will, no doubt, see new developments in the ongoing transformation of the transatlantic relationship – but hopefully no further drifts apart – and in the Union’s efforts to shore up and protect its own sovereignty in external affairs and security in the face of global uncertainties. We will most likely see a resolution of the tumultuous, chaotic and mutually damaging situation that is Brexit, with repercussions for the future of the EU27 and its relationship with the United Kingdom. We will see the shape of the new Europe, of its political and social framework, and how it will shape our own discourse and endeavours for the course of the next five years. In the fast-paced world of European politics, progress may have already taken place in some of these areas as we enter the fifth iteration of the Prague European Summit.

Making a case for a more united, stronger and more democratic Europe, Juncker offered earlier during the year five scenarios embodying the possible future of European integration: carrying on, nothing but the single market, those who want more do more, doing less more efficiently, and doing much more together.
