On 31 July, we had the pleasure of hosting representatives from civil society organisations and diplomats at the Visegrad Insight Breakfast, discussing the shrinking space for civil society organizations in Central Europe.

👉 Led by Magda Jakubowska, Vice President of The Res Publica Foundation - Visegrad Insight and featuring Eto Buziashvili, Research Associate at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, we explored funding and operational challenges for CSOs in Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

Drawing lessons from Georgia and Moldova, we brainstormed solutions to strengthen civic space through EU funding mechanisms.

🔸 Alice Stollmeyer - Founder & Executive Director at Defend Democracy, Associated expert at Euro-Atlantic Resilience Centre, and a fellow at Vital Voices Global Partnership.

Moderated by Galan Dall, Managing Editor at Visegrad Insight.
