The European Summit of Regions and Cities will be held in partnership with the Committee of the Regions and the City of Prague in Prague on 5 – 6 March in the Municipal House and the Žofín Palace.
In terms of the number of participants, this event will rank among the largest events of the Czech Presidency. Among the participants of the Summit will be members of the Committee of the Regions, selected significant political representatives from the EU (including mayors of European capital cities who are not members of the Committee of the Regions), the highest representatives of other European institutions (European Commission, European Parliament etc.), MEPs, representatives of the Czech government, representatives of regional and local authorities (regional presidents, mayors) and many representatives of national and regional media.
The central topic of the summit is the cohesion policy. However, its topics will also reflect the current economic development in the world, including Europe’s ability to react to the financial crisis and find solutions to achieve the long-term objectives in the area of competitiveness and growth that are included in the Lisbon Strategy. The conclusion of the summit should be a declaration, which will thereafter be presented by the President of the Committee of the Regions at the Spring European Council.
