The experts discussed situation in Europe after Donald Trump coming to the presidential post in the USA and after the UK’s decision to leave the EU. Other topics of discussion included possible vectors of EU-US and EU-Russia relations as well as the relations between key European countries and the fight for leadership within the EU.

Ekaterina Timoshenkova highlighted possible outcomes of Germany's parliamentary elections. Boris Guseletov said that despite the society's fatigue of the current elites in Germany and France, it is highly probable that representatives of these elites (Angela Merkel or Martin Schulz in Germany, François Fillon or Emmanuel Marcon in France) will win the upcoming elections.
