The question is not whether there will be another crisis or how deep it will be but rather when its onset will be. There is no doubt that it is coming. It is clear that the current debt-to-GDP ratio is quite unsustainable. I would not want to go into speculations as to how it will be corrected. I just hope it is in a peaceful manner because history remembers violent corrections of such imbalances, Chairman of BICA Vasil Velev says in an interview to Europost.

Eastern and Western European countries have a different historical background: Western Europeans had colonies in the past and partly because of this they have a different approach to migration. Deciding with whom they want to live is the right of a country and its people, this is not EU competence. If Western European countries want to force their immigration-friendly stance on Eastern European countries, this is likely to escalate tensions between the two parts of Europe, says Tamas Deutsch, Hungarian MEP, EPP, in an interview to Europost.

I think that voters across Europe need to be reassured that people involved in any EU-level decisions are thinking seriously about what is going wrong. It is not enough to turn to the populists and say: “You are wrong.” I think what we should be asking them is: “What are your ideas?” Because the populists are against everything, but they don't say what they are for, says Giles Merritt, Founder and Chairman of Friends of Europe, in an interview to Europost.

The topic is very important for EU citizens, judging by the fact that 4.6m people participated in the survey in the middle of the summer. This very fact shows that the EU should take a stand on the matter, either way. What I would like to see is a comprehensive study on the problem backed by scientific arguments. We need to find a balanced solution, and we should have a clear stance on the matter by the end of the current European Parliament's term, the MEP (EPP/GERB) says.

We have to bring the illegal migrants back to the neighbour countries outside the EU where they entered from. That is very important in order to secure and to control migration, as every other area of the politics. It must be allowed for the EU Member States to bring back the coming migrants to the countries of their origin or countries surrounding the EU. This is what Italy needs, and not only arrangement with Germany and Austria, a German MEP from the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group says in an interview to Europost.

What the US and Russia leaders demonstrated was the relations dictated by time. There are all grounds to apply the definition “historical” to the meeting in Helsink, told the Europost the international analyst.

Populist parties are prepared to use the “Orban formula” ahead of EP elections and even to spice it up, Ingrid Shikova, professor in EU policies, says in an interview to Europost.

InnovFin is a set of different financial products launched under Horizon 2020, EU research and innovation programme, which are all designed to fit together and cover a variety of loans, guarantees and equity-type funding, adapted to innovators' necessities.

Europe is unarguably going through five fundamental transformations: an economic transformation; an energy and ecological transformation; a deep social transformation; a democratic and participatory transformation; and lastly, a geopolitical transition in international relations. We have to become the shapers of those transformations.

I participated in the Sofia forum following the invitation of the Bulgarian Presidency of the EU Council, and I am very pleased to see the engagement of different stakeholders on this issue. The Bulgarian National Commission for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (NCCTHB) has been actively promoting cooperation with the Informal Network of National Anti-trafficking Coordinators from South-Eastern Europe (SEE) and its Secretariat.
