European Council President Donald Tusk has warned for the "shrinking and disintegration" threats the European Union is facing. Tusk spoke in Prešov (Slovakia) upon receiving the Globsec European Award.
"Brexit, the withdrawal of the US from many fields, like for example its latest decision to abandon Kurds in Syria, hesitations concerning accession talks with our Balkan partners, a demonstrative disregard by some of our Member States for fundamental principles such as the rule of law - all this is a sad illustration of the same trend: of shrinking and disintegration.
We used to say of ourselves,we, the so-called “New Europeans”, that we were the hope and future of the Union. The moment is coming when history will tell us “Check!” It would be good, if our words didn’t turn out to be just a bluff".
