Impact of the Globesec Forum

The Globesec Forum has become an essential fixture for diplomatic and security discussions since its inception in 2005, recently transitioning from Bratislava to Prague. This relocation was influenced by rising tensions surrounding Ukraine, particularly due to criticism from Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fizzo, who perceives the Forum as a gathering of liberal globalists. The event underscored the ongoing implications of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, consistently highlighted as a central theme throughout the Forum's discussions. Attendees grappled with the ramifications of this war on European security and the need for a united European response amid growing internal and external pressures.
