Only Russia and Belarus have not been invited to participate.Ī 19 October 2022 commentary by Dr. “The European Political Community is a platform for political coordination between European countries across the continent,” explains the website of the 2022 Czech presidency of the European Union the EPC is aimed at promoting “political dialogue and cooperation on issues of common interest in order to strengthen the security, stability and prosperity of the European continent.” So far, the Community’s participants include all 27 EU members, other countries located in the European subcontinent (including Turkiye), and Armenia, Azerbaijan & Georgia.
On 6 October, 2022, the EPC met for the first time in Prague, Czech Republic, with 44 states in attendance. French President Emmanuel Macron first proposed the Community during a May 2022 conference, and on 23-24 June 2022, the formation of the Community was approved by the European Council.
The EPC was created in 2022 as a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In the future, this Summit can be viewed as an example of Moldova’s pro-European foreign policy as long as the meeting is remembered for all the right reasons. While the EPC is a new organization finding its path in the veritable alphabet soup of regional organizations that already exist across Europe, hosting this Summit is essential for Chisinau and Moldovan President Maia Sandu. The Republic of Moldova will host the 2nd Summit of the European Political Community ( EPC) on 1 June, putting the European nation on the international center stage.
