Abstract
In this article, we assess the latest initiative to bring members of the European Union (EU) and non-members closer together: the European Political Community (EPC) that met for its first summit in Prague in October 2022 at the suggestion of French President Emmanuel Macron. However, we see a number of shortcomings in this newly emerging European club. The key question is whether it can meet geopolitical and security challenges ahead and how it could be transformed into a building block for a new European security order. Instead, we propose the idea and the concept of a Greater European Council (GEC) as a much more appropriate way to respond both to the changing security environment, due to Russia’s invasion, and the need for an institutionalised cooperation with non-EU states, including the gradual integration of applicant states.
