a second very symbolic summit in Moldova

The idea of ​​the summit of the European Political Community (EPC), which opens on Thursday 1 June, is to secure countries such as Moldova, the host country, which are candidates for the European Union, in order to prevent they elude great powers like Russia or China. The idea is to create partnerships with them on energy, transport and security. But it goes beyond: in this CEP, there is also countries like the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Norway, which are not part of the European Union. A total of 47 nations are represented.

Informal exchanges

The family photo will have a very strong symbolic dimension: all of Europe is there, only about thirty kilometers from Ukraine, except Russia and Belarus. So it’s a message of unity very clear sent directly to Vladimir Putin. And then the CPE is also an opportunity to create informal exchanges to try to solve certain problems. Emmanuel Macron and Olaf Scholz should thus meet with the Kosovar president and the Serbian president to try to lower the tension in Kosovo, where violence broke out last weekend, explains the journalist from France Télévisions, Julien Gasparutto.
