In this episode of CEA Talk, host Szilárd Szelpál sits down with Otto Brøns-Petersen, Director of Analysis at CEPOS, to discuss Denmark’s bold and multifaceted vision as it leads the EU Council Presidency.
We delve into Denmark’s priorities — from strengthening European defence and security amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions to advancing ambitious climate targets and balancing them with industrial competitiveness. The conversation also addresses Hungary’s controversial veto on Ukraine’s EU accession, the EU’s future in a rapidly changing global trade environment, and the strategic importance of Greenland in light of renewed international interest.
