Happy New year to all of you! Looking back onto 2018 gives me some mixed feelings. I just had a look at last years’ season’s greetings and must admit that things haven’t developed in an extraordinarily positive direction – neither related to international nor European affairs. Right wing movements are getting stronger and European values being ignored and trampled underfoot, increasing conflicts and decreasing cooperation became a reality in a Europe which has to re-define its identity. Will we go…

Seasons Greetings

Dear all, 2017 turned out as turbulent as expected. Politically, things have developed in rather weird directions: there is the Man with the Tin-Foil Hat in the White House who wants to make his country great again by reinventing the fossil coal economy.

The Visegrad member states are afraid of refugees that they have never encountered before, and all…
