LUBLIN CENTRAL EUROPE FORUM 2021 / May 20th, 10:00 CET

LUBLIN CENTRAL EUROPE FORUM 2021 / May 20th, 10:00 CET

SAVS

Welcome to the first edition of the Lublin Central Europe Forum organized by the Institute of Central Europe in cooperation with numerous partners from Poland and Europe. In 2021, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the events crucial to the region. Thirty years ago, in February 1991, the Visegrád Group was established as a structure integrating the central part of Europe. In December 1991, we watched as the Soviet Union disintegrated causing the collapse of the bipolar world order but also creating new perspectives for Central and Eastern Europe. In 1991, we also witnessed the process of the gradual dissolution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. That is why, the leading theme of this year’s edition of the Lublin Central Europe Forum is “30 years after: Where are we now?” 

We would like the event to become a meeting held annually in May to facilitate the discussion of issues vital for the region. This year, we are meeting virtually, but we hope that during the subsequent editions of the Lublin Central Europe Forum we will be able to meet in Lublin in person.

We cordially invite you to take part in the Lublin Central Europe Forum 2021, May 20th, 2021, Lublin (online).

Prof. Beata Surmacz, Prof. Tomasz Stępniewski
