In today’s shifting geopolitical arena, the EU 🇪🇺 must set priorities that bind the #WB6’s outliers to the Common Foreign and Security Policy #CFSP writes Marina Vulović in her SWP Comment.

At the same time, we need conditionality. EU funding must not benefit governments that are democratically backsliding and violate fundamental rights of their citizens. In times of Russia’s war of aggression, #CFSP alignment is crucial. Funding to #Serbia should be reviewed.

France and Germany aim for January 22 summit. A lot is as stake, including the continued EU response to Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine, EU economic resilience and further strategic ambition and alignment.

The end of the #INFtreaty puts #Europa back into the status of a possible battlefield between #Russia and the #UnitedStates. #Europe can not and should not rely on either of them for its #security. Europe needs to take care of this by and for itself with a common foreign and security policy #CFSP - but that's almost impossible with #Putin fanboys like #Salvini and #Orban within the #EU.
