Questions and Answers Before NATO’s Warsaw Summit

Abstract

The Center for Strategic and Defense Studies organized two international events in May 2016 as a forerunner to NATO’s Warsaw Summit. The Central European expert workshop „From Newport to Warsaw – Measuring Central European contributions to NATO” on May 20 summarized how NATO’s Wales decisions have been implemented by Central European countries, mapping up how these countries have responded to current threats and challenges, and contributed to collective defence, burden sharing and efforts of capability development within NATO. The conference „Questions and Answers Before the Warsaw Summit” discussed the foreseeable agenda of the upcoming Warsaw Summit of NATO on 8–9 July, 2016 and offered expert commentary upon what decisions Central European countries expect to see at the Summit. Under Chatham House rules participating experts offered comparative evaluations of the Visegrád Countries’ national priorities in this regard.
