EU–Southeast Europe Summit

20–21 October 2014 / JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel

ON THE ROAD TO STABILITY AND GROWTH

On the economic front, we are witnessing EU member states emerge from economic stagnation and recover from the crisis in a stronger position. Undoubtedly, 2014 is set to be a crucial year for the Southeastern European region.

Against this backdrop, we are delighted to announce the organisation of THE ECONOMIST EU–SOUTHEAST EUROPE SUMMIT, entitled ON THE ROAD TO STABILITY AND GROWTH.

We have chosen Romania as the host country for this year's event. As in Bulgaria last year, distinguished figures from across Europe will once again be invited to exchange ideas, engage in open debate and present proposals on all the issues addressed at this year's summit in Bucharest.

Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta, together with members of his cabinet, fully supports this initiative and will attend the EU–Southeast Europe Summit Gala Dinner to share his leadership strategy with decision-makers from politics, business, finance and academia across Europe, highlighting Romania's potential and its position on the global agenda. Other prime ministers and ministers from across the region will also be invited to attend.
