Strategic and Geopolitical Vision of the EU with Nicu Popescu

What lessons should be drawn from the EU's response to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the Russian war in Ukraine? How can the European Union act more efficiently in a crisis and reduce bureaucratic procedures? What is the overall strategic and geopolitical vision of the EU? And what should we know about the referendum on including integration with the EU into the constitution and the presidential elections in Moldova? Leszek Jazdzewski (Fundacja Liberte!) talks with Nicu Popescu, a distinguished Policy Fellow of the European Power programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), based in the Paris office. His areas of focus include how the EU should adapt itself and its policies in light of the war in Ukraine, including the development of a ‘war economy’, as well as EU enlargement to the east and Europe’s relations with Russia. He served as Moldova’s Deputy Prime-Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and European Integration between August 2021 and January 2024, and Foreign Minister between June and November 2019.
