✨ What an eventful week it has already been! ✨

🏙️ Following Monday’s workshop on the future of , Tuesday, 29 September marked the first item on the two-day Brussels programme of Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda, primátor hl. m. Prahy.

🇪🇺 Presidents and mayors of 35 European regions and cities, united within the EUregions4cohesion network, met with 30 Members of the European Parliament to discuss the future of Europe’s regions under the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). The debate was also attended and supported by European Parliament President Roberta Metsola.

🗣️ In his intervention, Mayor Svoboda stressed several key priorities for Prague and European cities:

✅ We need a strong territorial dimension and guarantees that regions and cities will be actively involved in programme design.
✅ Integrated Territorial Investments (ITI) are of strategic importance for Prague.
✅ Affordable housing in cities and depopulation of rural areas are two sides of the same coin.
✅ Prague supports earmarking at least 15% of EU funding for sustainable urban development directly within the future financial framework.

📍 As part of his working programme, the Mayor also visited the headquarters of Council of the European Union. Before the start of the COREPER II meeting, he had the opportunity to meet Vladimír Bärtl, Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to the EU, in the Czech national delegation room.

🛡️ In the afternoon, the Mayor visited NATO Headquarters where he met with Ambassador David Konecký, Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to NATO.

The discussions focused on key security issues, including:
🔹 Strategic communication
🔹 Countering disinformation
🔹 The functioning of the integrated rescue system
🔹 The role of local and regional authorities in strengthening societal resilience

🌍 Security and resilience are becoming increasingly important priorities in the next EU budget cycle, creating new opportunities for cities such as Prague, including within the future European Competitiveness Fund.
