At ECFR's first panel of the #ACM2026 in Vienna, moderated by ECFR deputy director @vtcherneva.bsky.social, foreign ministers examined Europe's strategic choices in an increasingly multipolar world, where power is more diffuse and the old assumptions of the international order no longer hold. 👇

Bulgarians have overwhelmingly voted for Rumen Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria party to take power. Radev has espoused the benefits of EU membership, but Europeans should be wary of his pro-Russia rhetoric, write Maria Simeonova and @vtcherneva.bsky.social. bit.ly/4sQXxYZ

It was a very good discussion and it seems it was one of the very few @MSC dedicated to WB/enlargement, the nexus between democracy challenges, foreign interference and accession on the examples of Serbia and Moldova. Great teamwork by @ECFR @bezbednost_org

Surprisingly, on this snowy Saturday, there is great interest in European issues and the opportunities facing the EU today at @harvard.edu Kennedy School of Governance. The discussion on the future of transatlantic relations, which I will be moderating later today, will also be interesting.

The 10 proposed measures outlined are meant to raise the political, economic & alliance costs of unilateral action so early & so visibly that Trump’s administration thinks twice & considers settling for something like the investment & security arrangements already on offer from Greenland & Denmark

What began as a cautious enlargement process is now a test of whether the EU can reform, overcome vetoes, and lead in a rapidly shifting world order, write @vtcherneva.bsky.social and Nicu Popescu in @brusselstimes.com bit.ly/49jNc1L

Donald Trump has a radical economic agenda—and a developing allyship with Vladimir Putin. The EU needs to protect Europe’s eastern flank from corruption and the kleptocrats who could further isolate it from the West. Read @vtcherneva.bsky.social & @garvanwalshe.org new commentary.

Trump’s return to Davos showcased his vision for a second term: tax cuts, energy dominance & little regard for multilateralism. Europe must prepare for a transactional US—before it’s too late.
