29.06.2009 | Český rozhlas (Czech Radio Station)

In an interview with the Czech Radio Station Český rozhlas Marie-Lena May, program-officer at the Center for Central and Eastern Europe of the Robert Bosch Stiftung at the DGAP, commented on the Czech EU presidency which ends on June 30, 2009. The fall of the Czech government in March negatively influenced the perception of the Czech presidency. But the presidency can claim several achievements: e.g., the outcome in the energy sector exceeded the expectations and the launch of the Eastern Partnership was an important step towards a new policy with the neighboring countries in the East.
