A Different Lens

19.12.2025

People often ask what Europe expects from us.

But perhaps the more important question is what we ourselves aspire to.

Not in a geopolitical sense, but in a deeper, civilizational one: what form of life, economy, and culture we want to build on our own land.

Others will always expect only one thing from us — to be an edge, a boundary, a defensive line between worlds.

But we are not an edge — we are a space of equilibrium, where a new model of coexistence can be born.
