Sul
portale del Ministero degli Affari Esteri ed Europei della Croatia il
Forum 2015 è descritto nelle sue tematiche riguardanti lo Sviluppo
Economico e della Cooperazione Internazionale, che sono state
trattate secondo un programma di Incontri e di Conferenze e di
Cerimonie Ufficiali che si sono svolte a Dubrownik tra il 9 e l'11
Luglio 2015. Vi hanno partecipato le principali Personalità
Politiche ed Istituzionali della Croazia, a cominciare dalla
Presidente della Repubblica la Signora Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, e
numerosi Rappresentanti Internazionali dell'Economia, della Politica
e della Diplomazia.
Per
Mons. D'Errico, Nunzio Apostolico in Croazia, che ha seguito il Forum a livello informativo come
Osservatore della Santa Sede, si tratta di una esperienza
che si aggiunge ad altre anche ecclesiali che lo hanno visto spesso
ospite della città dalmata (Vedi questi post sul blog).
Direttamente
dal Portale del Ministero Croato riporto in Inglese così come è
stato stato presentato il comunicato ufficiale del Croatia Forum
2015.
“New
Development Policy – Towards Partnership and a Common Vision” –
this is the main topic of the tenth annual CROATIA FORUM, the
traditional foreign policy conference organized by the Ministry of
Foreign and European Affairs, this year being held from the 9th to
the 11th of
July in Dubrovnik.
The
Forum represents a sort of prelude to the forthcoming International
Conference on Financing for Development and the United Nations Summit
to adopt the post-2015 development agenda.
The
partnership between small and large donors, sustainable development,
the challenges of terrorism – those are only some of the issues
which will be dealt with during the three-day meeting by numerous
senior officials from Croatia and abroad, as well as respectable
panelists and moderators, including first-time participants from
African countries.
What
was then known as Croatia Summit first took place in July 2006 in
Dubrovnik under the title “Completing Europe's Southern Dimension:
The Values that Bind Us”. In October of the previous year Croatia
had started its negotiations to join the EU, simultaneously making
progress in the process of accession to NATO, wherefore the first
conference was dedicated to security matters and the process of
Euro-Atlantic integration, which was also the main subject of the
conference the following year. “Security, Development and
Prosperity” were the topics of the third annual Croatia Summit held
in 2008, only months after Croatia had been invited to join NATO,
while the issues of energy, investment and development were in the
crosshairs at the 2009 Summit, at the time when Croatia was becoming
a full member of NATO. The focus of the 2010 Summit was on global
challenges from the region’s perspective and the topic of the
following conference in 2011, held only days after the conclusion of
the negotiations on Croatian membership in the European Union,
concerned future prospects and the finalization of the transition
period. “State Building and the EU Experience” were the subjects
of talks at the 2012 edition of Croatia Summit, while European energy
security was in the center of the participants’ attention one year
later, in 2013. It was from that year onwards that the conference has
been held under the name of Croatia Forum. Last year’s discussion
primarily revolved around the process of European integration in the
region of the Western Balkans and the event was attended by, among
others, 18 foreign ministers, including the current High
Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Federica Mogherini.
As
in previous years, the spotlight of this year’s conference will be
on the most topical issues. International development policy is an
important instrument for the establishment of cooperation on a global
level and CROATIA FORUM represents both an opportunity to discuss key
foreign policy challenges jeopardizing development, such as conflicts
and terrorism, and a chance to look into the ways in which
development cooperation can contribute to overcoming those
challenges.
We
have no doubt that this year’s meeting in Dubrovnik, too, will
arouse great interest, not only among those involved in international
relations and diplomacy, but also among all who appreciate
stimulating discussion and creative answers to the global issues that
surround us.
