“Will Global Economic Restructuring Bring the West Back to the Game?” was the topic of a panel at which Pusić spoke with Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkēvičs and French Minister for European Affairs Bernard Cazeneuve.
Speaking of how the global crisis had impacted the EU, Pusić said Europe had changed politically more than economically and warned about a change in the “sense of political direction, why we are part of the EU and where we want to go.” “Europe has not lost its attractiveness,” Pusić said, “but is simply approaching its geographical boundaries. Its attractiveness lies primarily in spreading political stability, institution building and economic progress.”
Riga 2012 is the leading political forum in north Europe since 2006, drawing representatives of some 30 countries from politics, the economy and science who discuss foreign and security policy topics.
