But this will not be the only topic of our discussion. The debates of the Forum encompass nearly all topics, also the most difficult ones. Every time we try to make the following editions better and different from the previous ones.

We reduced the number of panels to 115, inviting many outstanding politicians and experts. We have prepared an extremely attractive cultural and recreational programme. This year’s edition is also accompanied by three events: Investments Forum in Tarnow, Forum of Regions in Muszyna and Young Leaders Forum in Nowy Sacz. For the first time we are publishing, together with „Rzeczpospolita”, a special magazine – daily Forum.

This has already been our eighteenth meeting in Krynica. Over these years the Forum has become an important place on the political map of the world, perhaps the only one, where the East meeting the West is so well represented. I would like to wish all of you fruitful debates and interesting reflections.
