In this episode, Adam and Nina start by sharing some good news from Armenia, where the EU Commission has announced the start of a dialogue on visa liberalisation with the country. They also cover the latest developments in Russia, Poland, and Serbia.

The main interview features Zsuzsanna Végh, an analyst specialising in the European and foreign policies of Central European countries, with a particular focus on Hungary. Zsuzsanna provides an in-depth analysis of the political turbulence in Hungary over the past six months, its evolving relationship with the EU and attitudes towards the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. For those interested in learning more, check out our special bonus content for patrons, where Zsuzsanna reflects on the 20th anniversary of Hungary's EU membership and the 25th anniversary of its NATO membership. She also shares her views on how Hungarians perceive these two organisations.
