Leaders from across Europe meet in Copenhagen on 2 October for the seventh European Political Community summit, with security and support for Ukraine at the top of the agenda following today’s informal European Council.
The European Political Community (EPC) convenes in the Danish capital tomorrow, bringing together EU and non-EU leaders for a high-level discussion on Europe’s security, resilience and continued backing for Ukraine.
The host nation Denmark is positioning the gathering as a platform to strengthen Europe in a challenging geopolitical and security climate.
The EPC meets a day after an informal European Council in Copenhagen, where EU leaders focused on common defence and Ukraine.
The two meetings are intended to reinforce each other, with the EPC providing a broader forum that includes partners beyond the EU.
Security will dominate proceedings as Danish officials have highlighted recent drone incidents around airports and military sites, prompting reinforced air surveillance and allied support ahead of the leaders’ meetings.
Regional media and wire services report that measures include enhanced radar and allied assets to counter potential hybrid threats.
Organisers say the summit will open with a plenary before leaders break into roundtables on different aspects of Europe’s security, followed by bilateral meetings.
The EPC brings together more than 40 states. Alongside all 27 EU members, participants include the United Kingdom, Türkiye, Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Ukraine.
The Council of Europe and NATO are also represented. This wide membership makes the EPC unique, offering dialogue between EU members and countries with different institutional ties to Brussels.
If consensus is reached tomorrow, observers expect the group to reaffirm support for Ukraine, strengthen cooperation on air defence and hybrid threats, and promote closer ties on migration, energy and digital connectivity.
With Europe’s security environment under intense scrutiny, the hosts aim to use tomorrow’s discussions to push practical cooperation and show political unity.
