He also emphasised that &#8220;the fight against disinformation, cyber and hybrid war&#8221; would be a &#8220;high priority&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Noting that the first Czech Presidency in 2009 was marked by an energy crisis in Europe caused by Russia&#8217;s decision to halt supplies to Ukraine, Deputy Prime Minister Barto\u0161 said: &#8220;The Ukrainian crisis is here again and it is worse, and it is triggered by a war started by Russia. Our first priority is to cope with the refugee crisis. We will look at how to help the most vulnerable and most affected. We will look to make finances more flexible. We cannot be dependent on countries that directly endanger our future; energy poverty has become a real threat in all EU member states. We will also want to contribute to post-war reconstruction, because the stability of Ukraine is crucial for the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 99.9988%; border-collapse: collapse; border-style: double; border-color: #001f7d;\" cellpadding=\"0,5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 100%;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/the-eus-ecological-transition-must-be-grounded-on-a-strong-social-acceptability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Hanna-ZDANOWSKA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"133\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cde.ual.es\/en\/the-eus-ecological-transition-must-be-grounded-on-a-strong-social-acceptability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The EU&#8217;s ecological transition must be grounded on a strong social acceptability<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The President of the European Committee of the Regions,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cor.europa.eu\/es\/about\/president\"><strong>Vasco Alves Cordeiro<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>(PT\/PES), member of a Regional Parliament of the Azores,\u00a0<ins cite=\"mailto:Tiberi%20Monica\" datetime=\"2022-06-30T14:25\">s\u00a0<\/ins>peaking a day after his election, said: &#8220;The Committee of the Regions welcomes the Czech Presidency\u00a0<ins cite=\"mailto:Robert%20Langford\" datetime=\"2022-06-30T19:20\">\u2019s\u00a0<\/ins>will to strengthen the voice of regions and cities in the EU.
