On Friday, 17 December 2021, New Strategy Center organized the fourth debate of the series dedicated to 30 years since the dissolution of the USSR.
The debate ”30 Years Since the Dissolution of the USSR. The Impact on the Former States of the Communist Camp”, addressed the assessments and perception of events at that time in the countries of the former Warsaw Treaty. Their progress toward democracy and toward the Euro-atlantic area after the end of the Cold War was a challenging process, and the speakers presented the course of events at that time, from their perspective as witnesses and experts alike.
The discussion, moderated by Ambassador (Ret.) Doru Costea, member of the Scientific Council of the New Strategy Center, was attended by Ambassador Elena Poptodorova, Vice-president of the Atlantic Club Bulgaria, former ambassador of Bulgaria in the US, Ambassador Sergiu Celac, Honorary Chairman of the New Strategy Center and former minister of Foreign Affairs of Romania after the fall of the communist regime in December 1989, and Dr. Przemysław Żurawski vel Grajewski, Member of the Advisory Board of the Centre for Eastern Studies, OSW, Poland.
