This episode is produced by the REUNIR Horizon Europe Project. Host Prof. Tobias Schumacher welcomes Dr. Denis Cenusa, Associate Expert at the Geopolitics and Security Studies Centre in Lithuania and Non-Resident Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis in Washington.
Against the backdrop of the upcoming European Security Strategy, they discuss the security threats facing the EU’s candidate countries in the Western Balkans and Eastern Neighbourhood, from Russian aggression and hybrid threats to broader vulnerabilities in defence, cybersecurity and governance. They explore what the EU can – and should – do to strengthen the security and resilience of its future members, including through closer security and defence cooperation and greater access to EU instruments and initiatives.
