The report is dedicated to the analysis of the EU Global Strategy “Shared Vision, Common Action: A Stronger Europe” (EUGS) presented at the European Council (28 June 2016) and positions of the EU Member-States on the new document. The EUGS is a landmark document in the formation of the Common Security and Defense Policy of the EU, which shows a serious revision of the foundations of this policy from idealism to political realism. Despite the fact that there are differences in the positions of individual EU members on European security, there is a broad consensus that common interest for all EU states, whether Eurosceptics or Euro-optimists, is the security of their own space and their own citizens.
