One of the topics of the Talk at 7:00 on Radio RMF24 will also be acts of sabotage in Germany and reports of subsequent incidents for which Berlin blames Russia. Are the European Union countries prepared for this type of action? Is the closure of Russian facilities and institutions in Germany a sufficient response?

We will also talk about the fight for the EU budget for 2028-2034. How big are the cuts proposed by the member states and will Warsaw support the idea of new EU own revenues, or in practice new European taxes? Who may lose from limiting EU spending and will the countries be able to reach an agreement before 2027?

The conversation will also include the topic of Serbia and its path to the European Union. Does the controversy surrounding Ratko Mladic's funeral show that Belgrade is moving away from European standards? What role does historical policy play in the accession process today and could similar requirements apply to Ukraine in the future?
