The image of the European Union as an area of freedom, security and justice, which has since decades advanced on a path of expansion, deepening and consolidation, has in recent years got visible cracks. In the face of current developments, the question of how well the European communities are prepared to cope with the four current fundamental crises (the refugee crisis, the financial crisis and the security threats posed by the IS and Russia) arises, as well as of what will be their impact for tomorrow’s Europe.

Under the subject "Europe as a political idea" the chairman of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation would like to discuss these and other aspects of the current state of Europe with students from Belarus. The discussion is part of a visit of Mr. Pöttering to Minsk and Vilnius.
