Building a Sustainable Future for Central Europe! 🌍 The Sixth Ukrainian Central European Forum (UCEF) is coming to Kyiv! 📅 8 December 2026 📍 Kyiv, Ukraine This December, the Foreign Policy Council “Ukrainian Prism” will once again bring together policymakers, diplomats, leading experts, and civil society representatives from across Central Europe and beyond to discuss the challenges shaping our region's future. Under this year's theme, “The Price and the Value of Sustainable Neighbourhood,” UCEF 2026 will explore what it takes to build lasting partnerships, strengthen regional cooperation, and ensure a secure and resilient future for Central Europe. 💬 At a time when Europe's security architecture is being fundamentally reshaped, the need for solidarity, mutual understanding, and strategic cooperation has never been greater. What does sustainable neighbourhood really mean in times of war and geopolitical uncertainty? What price are we prepared to pay for regional security and stability? And how can Ukraine and its Central European partners turn shared challenges into lasting opportunities? This forum will provide a platform for open dialogue, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections, bringing together those who believe in a stronger, more united, and more resilient Central Europe.
