The changes in the EU, called with the formula “Europe of the speeds” lead to debates in Bulgaria and in Romania.

The EU reform and its implications with regard to security and public communication”, which was organized by the Cristian University “Dimitrie Cantemir, by the Institute for Political Sciences and International Relations at the Romanian Academy and the Commision for Defense, Public Order and National Security at the lower chamber of the Romanian parliament. Researches from both scientific institutions participated and analyzed problems such as Brexit, populism in the EU, the informational war, the rusophobic discourse and other issues such demography and fiscal policy.

Vladimir Mitev was the only foreign participant. He showed a presentation about the Bulgarian searches for an answer to what takes place in the EU. His presentation was based on three interviews which he made in April and May with experts on foreign policy from Bulgaria: Lyubomir Kyuchukov, Dimitar Bechev and Georgi Pirinski. The presentation focused on the searches for closer cooperation between the countries of the Black Sea region and on the foreign policy relations between Romania and Bulgaria.
