Forum Europa, dedicated to the future of Europe and its nations, begins today in Bucharest. The event is being held at the Palace of the Parliament. The conference will be attended by Zbigniew Przybyłowski, Director for International Outreach at Ordo Iuris.

The forum is organized by Romania’s Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR). The event is held under the motto “Vision, Identity, Education” and is dedicated to the defense of national sovereignty, European identity, and the right of nations to decide their own future. Politicians, parliamentarians, Members of the European Parliament, diplomats, and representatives of conservative and sovereigntist movements from Europe and around the world are coming to Bucharest.

The official opening of the forum is scheduled for Friday, November 13, at 6:00 p.m. The program includes thematic conferences, debates, and bilateral meetings, as well as the establishment of some 60 friendship groups with representatives of other countries. The organizers expect several thousand participants, including more than 200 guests from abroad. The event’s website has announced the participation of more than 180 speakers from over 55 countries.

One of the highlights of the program will be the announcement of the manifesto “Europa Noastră” (“Our Europe”). The document presents a vision of the future of the European Union based on the freedom of nations, respect for tradition, and the right of every state to decide its own destiny. Participants in the debates will also discuss how to preserve a Union in which cooperation between states does not mean political unification, loss of identity, or restriction of national sovereignty.

Poland will also be well represented at the forum. The event will be attended by Polish politicians and experts, including Ryszard Czarnecki, Zdzisław Krasnodębski, Adam Bielan, and Jacek Ozdoba. The establishment of a Romanian–Polish friendship group, among other items on the program, is scheduled for Sunday, November 15.

The Ordo Iuris Institute will be represented in Bucharest by Zbigniew Przybyłowski, Director for International Outreach. This is his second visit to the Romanian capital this year. In April, he took part in a conference on artificial intelligence regulations and the protection of citizens. He delivered the first address there, arguing for regulation at the level of nation states. At the end of October, he spoke at a conference in Prague on the future of Central Europe. He argued there that the well-being of families, the stability of marriages, and fertility rates should also be a measure of economic success. Earlier this year, he represented Ordo Iuris at events including CPAC Hungary in Budapest and the Remigration Summit in Porto.
