Is Slovakia witnessing a shift from anti-corruption efforts to politically motivated prosecutions? Can pressuring law enforcement to investigate opposition figures undermine democracy? Is the biggest threat to Czech democracy foreign propaganda, or do domestic political actors play a greater role?

The event is organized around the upcoming text by Eva Mihocková, which we will publish at the beginning of April.  Albin Sybera will share his perspective on Czech affairs, and his article is already available on our website.
