    Les Tchèques à la tête de l’Europe La présidence tchèque de l’Union européenne en 2009
    in Revue d'études comparatives Est-Ouest , vol. 40, n. 1, Mars ,  2009 ,  19-43
    Czech political thinking about the EU is still under the sway of the idea of “returning to Europe”, which has guided the country’s foreign policy. Given the Czech government’s composition, the Czech presidency of the EU can be expected to evidence a slightly pro-American tendency. However priorities will reflect the country’s long-term interests given the still prevailing conceptual framework of a “return to Europe”. These priorities but partly overlap with those of the French EU presidency, since the French and Czech governments hold different views about Europe.
