Kaiser: I talk to the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, all the time

Minister za zunanje in evropske zadeve Tone Kajzer je ocenil, da je letošnji Blejski strateški forum (BSF) uspešen in da je forum postavljal varnost kot ključno temo, saj brez varnosti ni stabilnosti in prosperitete. Kajzer je poudaril, da je BSF blagovna znamka, na katero je Slovenija lahko ponosna, in da sodelujejo vsi relevantni akterji. Odgovoril je tudi na vprašanje, zakaj se ni posebej srečal z evropsko komisarko za širitev Marto Kos ob robu BSF, poudaril pa je, da s komisarko pogovarja vseskozi. Udeleženci foruma so obravnavali aktualne geopolitične teme, vključno s Sredno Evropo, Afrikijo, multilateralnim kontekstom in vlogo tehnologij. Kajzer je izpostavil tudi sporočilo novega madžarskega premierja Petra Magyarja, da se mora osredotočiti na domače naloge in delati z ljudmi.

Four European prime ministers, Czech Republic's Andrej Babiš, Slovenia's Janez Janša, Croatia's Andrej Plenković, and Hungary's Peter Magyar, gathered at the Bled Strategic Forum to discuss the role of Central Europe in shaping the future of the European Union. They emphasized the need for the EU to decide whether it wants merely to survive or to achieve success, according to reports from Nova24TV. The discussion centered around the shared history and current challenges faced by Central European nations, including their transition from communist regimes to democratic states within the EU. Plenković highlighted that the presence of four Central European leaders at the forum underscored its main message, that these countries are becoming stronger, more resilient, competitive, democratic, influential, and self-confident within the EU. He credited Western support but acknowledged that progress was due largely to reforms and structural changes implemented by the countries themselves. He noted that each nation still respects its national identity while working toward a unified European identity shaped by recent challenges such as migration crises, the pandemic, Brexit, the war in Ukraine, and Middle East conflicts. Janša reflected on the golden age of the EU after its expansion, contrasting it with the current focus on regulation over strategic issues. He argued that Central Europe has handled illegal migration differently than Western countries and pointed to the NATO summit in Bucharest in 2008, where two major European powers disagreed on Ukraine and Georgia’s path to NATO membership. He suggested that Central Europe had a more unified strategic approach during that time. Babiš stressed that Central and Eastern Europe could play a crucial role in shaping the EU's future. He criticized the Green Deal for potentially harming industry despite its environmental goals. He called for a change in energy strategy and addressed the issue of competitiveness within the EU. He also mentioned that Hungary, despite being in power for a short period, had already made significant strides, particularly in reducing budget deficits. Magyar emphasized the importance of honest dialogue, avoiding ideological questions, addressing real problems, and strengthening regional cooperation. He expressed frustration with how Brussels treats Hungary regarding migration issues, stating that protecting common European borders should not lead to unfair treatment of Hungary. Tone Kajzer, Slovenia's foreign and European affairs minister, praised the Bled Strategic Forum as a successful event focused on security, which he deemed essential for stability and prosperity. He stated that the forum was a joint project and a brand of pride for Slovenia, emphasizing the importance of collaboration among all stakeholders. Kajzer noted that the forum discussed current geopolitical topics, with Central Europe playing a central role. He clarified that Slovenia's foreign policy does not retreat but focuses on areas where it can influence, dealing with reality rather than desired scenarios. Kajzer also highlighted Magyar's message at the forum, that attention should be directed towards domestic tasks and working with people. He emphasized that decisions at both national and European levels should reflect democratic discourse and values, which align with national interests. Discussions also touched upon Africa, broader multilateral contexts, technology, and the transatlantic dimension, including cooperation with the United States. Mart Kos, the European commissioner for enlargement from Slovenia, revealed that she had attempted to meet with Prime Minister Janša and Foreign Minister Kajzer but was unsuccessful. She indicated her intention to continue seeking contact with them whenever possible, stressing the importance of engaging with the government on significant matters.

Babis, Janša, Plenković and Magyar on Europe: We have to decide whether the EU just wants to survive or win

Na Blejskem strateškem forumu so se udeležili štirje premierji – slovenski Janez Janša, hrvaški Andrej Plenković in češki Andrej Babiš – ter razpravljali o vlogi Srednje Evrope pri oblikovanju prihodnosti Evropske unije. V svojih izjavah so poudarili, da imajo države Srednje Evrope podobno zgodovino in soočajo s podobnimi izzivi. Plenković je poudaril, da so srednjeevropske države postale močnejše in bolj demokratične zaradi reform, medtem ko je Janša opozoril na potrebo po zmanjšanju prekomernega reguliranja v EU. Babiš je menil, da Srednja in Vzhodna Evropa lahko igrajo pomembno vlogo pri reševanju Evrope v prihodnosti.

Janez Janša and Tone Kajzer have been ignoring Marta Kos for three months.

Evropska komisarka iz Slovenije, Marta Kos, je izpostavila, da so tri mesece, odkar je na oblasti četrta vlada Janeza Janše, ostali brez stika z premierjem Janezom Janšo in zunanjim ministrom Tone Kajzerjem. Koordinacija s podobnimi organi v državi je za nju ključna, zato bo nadaljevala z napori v prihodnjem času. V skladu z poročili je njenih prošenj za srečanje neuslišano, kar kaže na možno preprečevanje komunikacije med vlado in Evropsko komisijo.
