The Czech EU Presidency and the associated attention focused on Prague as the capital of the Czech Republic and the planned venue of the major events related to the Presidency is also an opportunity to highlight, communicate and promote the City's priorities. For the whole duration of the Presidency, the Czech capital will host several conferences, political meetings, cross-national events, a cultural programme and citizen events open to everyone, to address and develop crucial international topics and inform the public about the current EU issues. Most of the program will take place in a public space in the centre of Prague and the planned events will serve as platforms for pan-European dialogue with an emphasis on the inter-urban dimension. On the citizens' level, there will be a strong emphasis on information activities within the city's critical public debate on the European Union, which is based on often very distorted ideas about how the European Union works.
For the current schedule of activities and events related to the Czech EU Presidency, see the Events section.
