Ewa Dębska Jacob Kaarsbo Lars Barfoed Foreningen NORDEN For Russia, the Baltic is a lifeline from St Petersburg to the Atlantic. Equally vital are the waterways: Black Sea–Mediterranean, Arctic Ocean, and Vladivostok–Pacific. To seek peace with Russia, a Nordic–Europe debate must include that strategic dimension. #Security #Diplomacy

As #DEMOCRACY in Europe is said to be “under attack”, part of the problem lies at the very top. EU #enlargement to the Balkans, Caucasus and Central Asia proceeds with major security, cultural and economic impacts — but without citizens’ consent. Several referenda are needed.
