Who can embody the European narrative? Who will take Europe beyond the identity formed at its inception – one that now feels out-moded, based on a belief that war was a thing of the past. Can anyone lead a geopolitical Europe?
To mark Europe Day and the 75th anniversary of the Schuman declaration, the Brussels Institute for Geopolitics is honoured to host Herman Van Rompuy, the first permanent President of the European Council (2009–14) and former Prime Minister of Belgium (2008–09).
