European Summit of Regions and Cities, Prague - 5 and 6
March 2009
The Committee of the Regions is organising a European
Summit of Regions and Cities in Prague on 5 and 6 March 2009, in
partnership with the City of Prague, and with the support of the Czech Presidency
of the European Union.
The timing of this Summit, to be held in the heart of the Czech capital, is
particularly significant at a crucial juncture for democracy in the EU. It comes
just before the Spring European Council and the re-launch of the growth and jobs
strategy, as well as a few months before the renewal of the European Parliament
and the European Commission.
Approximately 500 elected representatives for regional and local authorities,
including regional presidents, mayors, presidents of regional parliaments as
well as key players from the European institutions and organizations
representing regional and local authorities will send a message to Europe's
Heads of State and Government with ideas on how to master the economic and
political challenges facing the European Union.
Participation in the Summit is only possible upon personal
invitation. The event will take place in the neo-renaissance Zofin
Palace, located on the Slavic Island and with a view on the historic centre
of Prague.
