We shall maintain: the Netherlands and Poland facing European and transatlantic challenges together
The Polish presidency of the Council of the European Union opens a particular window opportunity for the intensification of Dutch-Polish cooperation. The priorities of Warsaw’s European policy coincide with those of the Hague, particularly in the context of European security and reconcile regarding policy towards the countries of the Western Balkans and the Eastern Partnership. KEW, alongside Clingendael decided to contribute to strengthening Polish-Dutch alliance by publishing the policy paper „We shall maintain: the Netherlands and Poland facing European and transatlantic challenges together”, written by Adam Balcer and Tony van der Togt. It is based on deliberations of the first Dutch-Polish round table on security and EU enlargement, which took place in Wojnowice in November 2024. The round table was organized within the framework of initiative „General Maczek Dialogues” co-funded by the Embassy of the Netherlands to Poland.
