The present crisis is as serious as the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, said Professor Richard Sakwa, keynote speaker at the Russia in Global Politics - Driving Values and Interests conference. Co-hosted by CEU’s Center for EU Enlargement Studies (CENS) and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Budapest, the April 20 event was part of CEU’s Frontiers of Democracy series.

On April 14, Zsuzsanna Végh, research assistant of CENS, participated in the panel discussion "Eastern Partnership Trends before Riga" at the Premanent Representation of the Czech Republic in Brussels. The discussion evolved around the final results of the "Trends of Eastern Partnership" project led by the Association of International Affaires (AMO) which assessed the perceptions' of foreign policy elites from the V4 and EaP countries concerning the results and future prospects of the EU's Eastern Partnership policy.
