Café Európa: Prezidentská debata o identite v srdci Európy  ^CZ/SK

Czech President Petr Pavel and former Slovak President Zuzana Čaputová discuss the search for identity in an increasingly polarized world. The discussion is moderated by Erik Tabery, editor-in-chief of the Czech weekly Respekt.

Bringing together two of the most prominent public figures from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the discussion will focus on democratic values, civic society, European identity, and the challenges facing Central Europe today. The discussion will take place on Saturday, July 11, in the afternoon as part of the traditional discussion segment of the Pohoda Festival program at Café Európa, organized by the Representation of the European Commission in Slovakia.

Petr Pavel has served as President of the Czech Republic since 2023. Before entering office, he was Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces and later Chair of the NATO Military Committee.

Zuzana Čaputová served as President of the Slovak Republic from 2019 to 2024. During her presidency, she became one of Europe’s most respected advocates for democracy, the rule of law, human rights, and international cooperation.
