European Political Community
International diplomatic meeting / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Political Community (EPC) is an intergovernmental forum for political and strategic discussions about the future of Europe, established in 2022 after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1][2] The group first met in October 2022 in Prague, with participants from 44 European countries, as well as the Presidents of the European Council and the European Commission.[3] It is distinct from both the European Union (which is a participant) and the Council of Europe.
Not to be confused with European Political Co-operation, the European Political Community (1952) or the Council of Europe.
