Euro-Atlantic Security Initiative Launch

Thu. December 10th, 2009
Washington, D.C., Brussels, Moscow

The hoped for undivided "Europe whole and free" of twenty years ago has today become a region in danger of seeing new lines divide the continent with the prospect of heightened tension for all. The responsibility for this situation belongs to all parties, just as it will require adjustments and new thinking from all to recapture the promise of an undivided, secure, and prosperous region.

EASI co-chairs Sam Nunn in the United States, Igor Ivanov in Russia, and Wolfgang Ischinger in Belgium, discussed EASI's new role in addressing Euro-Atlantic security challenges.
