22 septembre 2025
During the two days of 18–19 September in Belgrade, the European Democratic Party delivered a clear message

And to fight of the realisation of our dreams, which are also the fairest and most pragmatic answers to the challenges of our time. There are times when an entire generation is called upon to prove itself equal to the challenges of history. We are living one of these moments: let us reform the Union to unite Europe.
