In this episode of The VoiCEE podcast, the team from Reporting Democracy discusses their newly released Trends Report 2023: War in Ukraine Focuses Minds, which identifies and examines trends in the Central and Eastern Europe region that will play out over the rest of this year.
The trends are:
- State of Democracy: Belief Returns but New Social Contract Needed
- The Future of Energy: Picking Up the Pace of the Transition
- Media Freedom: A Page Turner
- Poverty In the Region: One Direction
- Security on the Continent: Spending Their Way Out of Trouble
- Visegrad Group: No Rekindling the Romance
What all six share is an overarching theme forged in the fires of the war in next-door Ukraine: a new unity borne from Russia’s invasion, which has concentrated the minds of governments, strategists, policymakers and business leaders across Central Europe, Southeast Europe and the rest of the EU.

In this podcast series we are looking at the region from different angles and perspectives, attempting to capture its diversity and understand emerging trends. Above all, we want to give a voice to a region that is often talked to rather than listened to.
The VoiCEE is brought to you by a network of independent English-language media in Central and Eastern Europe: Notes from Poland, Kafkadesk, Insight Hungary, Internews Ukraine, New Eastern Europe, Reporting Democracy, Transitions, Ukraine World, VSquare. You can find more content from our network here and follow us on Twitter.
