Ελληνας διπλωμάτης τοποθετείται επικεφαλής της αντιπροσωπείας της Ε.Ε. στη Λιβύη, καθώς η θητεία του σημερινού, Ιταλού πρέσβη Νίκολα Ορλάντο, λήγει. Τη θέση του επικεφαλής της αντιπροσωπείας της Ε.Ε. στη Λιβύη (συγκεκριμένα στην Τρίπολη) αναλαμβάνει ο Αλέξης Κωνσταντόπουλος (φωτογραφία), ο οποίος έχει διατελέσει πρέσβης της Ελλάδας στη Σαουδική Αραβία, στο Ομάν και στην Υεμένη. Τα τελευταία χρόνια είναι ο ειδικός εκπρόσωπος της Ελλάδας στον IMEC (Οικονομικός Διάδρομος Ινδίας, Μέσης Ανατολής και Ευρώπης) και έχει συσσωρεύσει αρκετή εμπειρία σχετικά με όλες αυτές τις περιοχές που βρίσκονται στην –εκτός Ευρώπης– ευρύτερη γειτονιά της χώρας και αποτελεί στην πραγματικότητα ζωτικής σημασίας πεδίο δραστηριοποίησης για την ελληνική διπλωματία. Η Αθήνα «κυνήγησε» αυτό το πόστο και τις επόμενες ημέρες αναμένονται και οι σχετικές ανακοινώσεις. Υπενθυμίζεται ότι μόλις πριν από λίγες ημέρες η υφυπουργός Εξωτερικών Αλεξάνδρα Παπαδοπούλου βρέθηκε στην Τρίπολη της Λιβύης, φυσικά με διμερές «καπέλο», με στόχο να κρατήσει ενεργές τις συζητήσεις Ελλάδας και κυβέρνησης εθνικής ενότητας για την –πολύ μελλοντική– πιθανότητα οριοθέτησης ΑΟΖ ανάμεσα στις δύο χώρες. kathimerini.gr/politics/5642…

🙌 The 19th 🇪🇺🇺🇦 #CivilSociety Platform met ahead of the crucial June @EUCouncil meeting. As #Ukraine's accession process enters a decisive phase, #civilsociety organisations call for continued momentum on enlargement. 📃 Read the full Joint Declaration: link.europa.eu/KRtnK3

🌐At a time when global cooperation stands at a crossroads, @LJahierEU addressing the #C7 Summit today in Paris. Top priorities are: 💡revitalize multilateralism to respond to people’s needs 🙌address global inequalities & deliver social justice🔋enable a just energy transition

🔛 As the EU looks ahead to the opening of the Fundamentals Cluster, the 🇪🇺🇺🇦 #CivilSociety Platform stresses that #civilsociety is not only a watchdog 🛡️ but a vital partner 🤝 in the EU accession process. #Ukraine’s integration will strengthen our Union.

🌍 As the #CETA CSF wraps up in #Ottawa, the EU and #Canada reaffirm that prosperity, democratic values & sustainable development go hand in hand. Inspiring Riverside Chats, led by the 🇪🇺 & 🇨🇦 DAGs, highlighted the vital role of #civilsociety in shaping a resilient partnership.

@thomaswaitz 🗣️ #Civilsociety is a crucial pillar of enlargement & 🗝️ partner in reform. It must be embedded in an inclusive exchange & trusted to hold politics accountable. The conference in 🇦🇹, a long-standing supporter of the #WesternBalkans 🇪🇺 path, reflects that commitment.

🙌 @ADobrushi @OpenSociety #CivilSociety already brings evidence & expertise - the gap is presence. Too often it is not around the tables where decisions are being made. That is the 🔑 difference between being consulted & being a democratic partner in shaping #enlargement policy.

🇪🇺🇬🇧 The EU and UK Domestic Advisory Groups, institutionalised representatives of organised #CivilSociety, reaffirmed this week their support for the renewed EU-UK agenda and ongoing negotiations under the Common Understanding. 🔍shorturl.at/eBJ1l

🇪🇺 @CY2026EU @marilena_raouna A more autonomous Union is an enlarged Union!🗣️A vibrant & independent #civilsociety is a core pillar of the European project. Where #civilsociety is strong and involved, reforms are more resilient, harder to reverse, & more meaningful for citizens.

🔛 #WesternBalkans Conference Participants discussing #Enlargement & European Security 🗨️ We must assess the cost of non-enlargement and ensure that EU instruments for #civilsociety and security include the Western Balkans.

🔛The Next MFF: Funding #CivilSociety & Accelerating Socio-Economic Convergence Greater access to 🇪🇺 funds would accelerate convergence & reduce poverty in the region. It must move beyond an economy driven by consumption, remittances & low productivity toward sustainable growth.
