When we embarked on our search for Central Europe last year, there were those who doubted its very existence. Pragmatic logic weighed on us —what could our fragile community mean against overwhelming numbers, signed treaties, and the crack of gunfire?

We are meeting in Uzhhorod, not only on Europe Day, but also in the heart of Europe. Today's Ukraine allows us to see our shared community, which must be shaped differently in the future.
