On 1 July 2024, Hungary assumes the rotating presidency of the Council of the European
Union for the second time. Hungary faces this challenge with more experience, but
under much more complex circumstances: the Russian–Ukrainian war, the threat in the
Middle East, inflation, the worsening migration situation. Experience alone shall
not suffice for a successful presidency. We will need creativity, innovation and increased
confidence in our country to successfully overcome obstacles in the second half of
2024.
The aim of this volume is to provide a comprehensive overview of the experiences of
the 2011 Hungarian EU Presidency, the preparations for the 2024 Presidency, as well
as its expected challenges and opportunities. The volume also seeks to present the
most important policy areas and issues from a Hungarian perspective. Written in a
scholarly yet accessible language, the book clarifies the role of the rotating presidency
in the functioning of the European Union and provides insight into the processes taking
place in various policy areas.
