A round table was held at the European House in Zagreb on the topic: "Running in the EU - Youth in the Back Rows". The round table was organized by the Croatian Youth Network, the associations Academy for Political Development and BaBe. The Youth Network and BaBe collaborated as part of a project to educate students from three Zagreb high schools about the history of the European Union, the functioning of its institutions, and the opportunities it offers young people in Croatia. Suzana Kunac from the BaBe association was responsible for presenting a significant survey on the attitudes of Croatian citizens towards the European Union, entitled "EU +?-: Attitudes of Croatian citizens towards the accession of the Republic of Croatia to the European Union". The aforementioned survey showed a very high percentage of young people who express extremely Eurosceptic attitudes. The reasons for such a worrying situation were discussed by: Vesna Pusić, President of the National Committee for Monitoring the Negotiations with the EU, David Hudson, Chargé d'Affaires ai at the Delegation of the European Commission to the Republic of Croatia, and Pero Bilušić from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration. The discussion was moderated by Nevena Crljenko, Executive Director of the Academy for Political Development. MMH President Emina Bužinkić canceled her appearance at this roundtable due to illness.
