Hybrid Threats in Poland Amidst EU Expansion Talks

Visegrad Insight Podcast

Weekly Outlook by Adam Jasser and Miles R. Maftean: European Council President Charles Michel’s recent statement at the Bled Strategic Forum has opened up a Pandora’s Box of questions. He stresses that the EU should be ready to accept new members by 2030, feeling the already complex discussion. From a mysterious outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease that has killed seven people to alarm-induced train halts across multiple cities, Poland’s domestic security is under scrutiny. Authorities suspect intentional tampering with the water system and are investigating the digital stop messages sent to trains.

Special guest: Spasimir Domaradzki, Visegrad Insight Fellow, sits down with Adam Jasser to discuss the death of prominent Bulgarian businessman Alexey Petrov, and how murders in Bulgaria are another opportunity for former political elites to secure their background to make sure that some of the potential threats are eliminated.
