"Quo Vadis Europa', where are you going Europe: a very topical question, also in the light of the forthcoming European elections, which involve very broad scenarios, embracing the themes of security, the economy and environmental policies. This morning at the Social Theatre in Trento, Romano Prodi, former President of the European Commission and now professor at the University of Bologna, and Stefano Sannino, Secretary General of the European External Action Service of the European Commission, spoke about it, moderated by Paolo Magri, Executive Vice President of ISPI-Istituto per gli studi di politica internazionale and Liliana Faccioli Pintozzi, Foreign Editor of 'Sky TG24'.
For Prodi, it is likely that the next electoral term will not radically change the scenarios. Future bets include enlargement to the former Yugoslavia, in particular Serbia, and Albania, while the situation in countries such as Ukraine and Georgia appears more complex, where, as Sannino recalled, the 'internal factor', more or less conditioned by international order, also counts. Among the other unknowns are the outcome of the American elections, whether victory will be assigned by the American electorate to Trump, and relations with China.
