Project report: Setting up the coordination mechanism within the Presidency of the Council of the EU

Setting up the coordination mechanism within the Presidency of the Council of the EU: preparation and realization from the perspective of selected Member States, lessons learned, and recommendations for CZ PRES 2022

Based on the analysis of existing studies and literature and data collection in the form of semi-structured interviews, the aim of the research is to state appropriate scenarios for the organizational and coordination side of the Czech Presidency (based on different models or combinations thereof). These scenarios reflect both positive and negative experiences during the presidency of comparable EU Member States, taking into account the expected objectives, agenda, economic efficiency, risks, and potential of the Czech Presidency. At the same time, the report reflects the various stages of the Presidency, with an emphasis on its preparation and realization.
