After almost ten years of Adriatic Council’s existence, I am convinced that it’s role in the region is now more relevant than ever: the world is witnessing several crises that are challenging our existence more that any time since the Second World War. We are going through a pandemic which mankind has not experienced since one hundred years ago. Climate change with its severe impacts on human and animal life and huge material losses to the world economy is seriously jeopardising existence of many animal and plant species, threatening the human race and severely affecting the well being of large portions of human societies worldwide. Lastly, many of the basic premises of democracy as we have known them since the en do of the Second World War have been seriously challenged, as witnessed by a growth of authoritarian regimes worldwide and the recent invasion of Ukraine.
The Adriatic region has been seriously affected by the above developments and has in many aspect shown even greater vulnerabilities that some other parts of the world and Europe. COVID-19 has had a high toll on life and economic well-being in the region, weather related disasters have grown and the economies of the region are suffering. Many people from the region have left in search of a better life. The emerging democratic institutions are being seriously threatened by autocratic politicians.
In such circumstances, the values and principles our Adriatic Council has been espousing, are becoming even more relevant and essential. To foster dialogue, cooperation, trust and understanding in the region is becoming more crucial than ever. We should strive to attract new, fresh ideas and competent and well intentioned individuals into our Council and become an even more relevant platform to ensure peace and prosperity in the region in order to rise Adriatic Council’s relevance and profile.
