Opublikowano: January 22, 2025

Brussels, January 2025 – Last week, representatives of the Warsaw Security Forum (WSF), including Prof. Katarzyna Pisarska and Tomasz Obremski, visited Brussels to present the WSF 2025 initiatives to the newly appointed EU and NATO leadership. The delegation engaged in over 20 high-level meetings with officials from the European Commission, European Council, European Parliament, and NATO Headquarters, focusing on critical global and regional security priorities.

The discussions emphasized four key advocacy issues supported by the Warsaw Security Forum:

  • Ensuring sustainable military and financial support for Ukraine.
  • Effectively countering Russia’s state-sponsored destabilization activities in Europe.
  • Encouraging European nations to strengthen their defense efforts.
  • Preserving coherence and unity within the Transatlantic Alliance.

WSF expressed gratitude to key figures for their commitment to these pressing matters, including Andrius Kubilius, Marta Kos, Kaja Kallas, Piotr Serafin, Stéphane Séjourné, Magnus Brunner, Michael McGrath, Radmila Shekerinska, Geoffrey van Leeuwen, and Roberta Metsola.

One of the highlights of the visit to NATO was a meeting with Admiral Rob Bauer, Chair of the NATO Military Committee (CMC). This meeting, held just a day before Admiral Bauer’s farewell from his role as CMC, provided a unique opportunity to discuss NATO’s future strategic priorities and reflect on the achievements of his tenure. WSF is deeply grateful for Admiral Bauer’s steadfast leadership and his invaluable contributions to strengthening NATO’s unity and readiness.

Engagement at the Annual Conclave Meeting
Prof. Katarzyna Pisarska also participated in the Annual Conclave Meeting organized by EuropaNova, where strategic discussions took place with prominent leaders, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Council President António Costa, and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo. These high-level dialogues reinforced the shared commitment to addressing Europe’s security challenges.

Roundtable Discussions with NUPI
In collaboration with the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI), WSF hosted an insightful roundtable lunch at the Norwegian Permanent Representation to the EU. Together with like-minded partners, the discussion centered on pressing issues such as:

  • Utilizing frozen Russian assets.
  • Expanding European defense capabilities.
  • Sustaining transatlantic unity in times of crisis.

A Week of Impact and Progress
This impactful week of advocacy and collaboration underscores the Warsaw Security Forum’s commitment to fostering dialogue and advancing security initiatives that resonate across Europe and the transatlantic community.
