CPPT UK at the Hybernská Campus has prepared a series of six in-depth debates, linked by the title #ÚkolEvropa. Every Monday evening a month, moderator Martina Mašková (ČRo) will ask questions to three speakers — experts, representatives of the academic community and students. However, all those who will follow us on the Internet can also contribute directly to the debate with their questions.
The second part of the series is devoted to the common currency of the EU. Is the euro a threat or an opportunity? And why are the Czechs afraid of him? Let us invite to the debate:
— member of the Bank Board Oldřich Dědek
— former Vice-Governor of the Slovak National Bank Elena Kohútiková
— and a student of the Institute of Economic Studies of FSV UK Tomáš Cvern.
