Do you feel like history might be repeating itself and that we might be standing at the edge of a new Cold War? What would that actually mean for global security and for countries like Czechia caught in between? If you ask yourself this too, then join us at the Czech Security Forum 2025 on 22 October at Kampus Hybernská, Prague, where we’ll explore these questions together with leading experts and scholars in international relations.
