Welcome to the Glopolis website dedicated to the Czech presidency of the European Union

The Czech Republic began its EU presidency on the first of January, a time marked by triple crisis in terms of the economy, energy, and food security. As an important international actor, the EU is expected to provide leadership and propose solutions to these difficult global situations. A document on the priorities of the Czech presidency, which focus on the economy, energy and foreign policy, addresses these issues within a broader framework.

The aim of Glopolis is to emphasize the importance of approaching global governance in a manner that ensures developmental needs of poorer countries. It is with these considerations that Glopolis critically reflects on Czech Presidency priorities and proposes its own solutions and recommendations to current global conditions.

The purpose of this website is to offer an alternative perspective on the priorities of the Czech presidency, inform the public of events organized by Glopolis in the first half of the year 2009, and showcase news, articles and documents related to the Czech leadership of the European Union.
