Debate with Ambassador Vladimír Bärtl

From studying geodesy at the Czech Technical University to leading diplomatic missions across the globe, Mr. Bärtl shared his unique path to diplomacy, as well as behind-the-scenes stories from his current post of representing the Czech Republic in COREPER.

The discussion touched on the EU’s relations with the USA, support for Ukraine, and challenges like competitiveness and the new EU budget — all with an open Q&A and an informal atmosphere.
