Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Chair of the Bundestag’s Defense Committee, is calling for a European security conference at the highest political level given the threat posed by Russia. The EU heads of state and government should discuss the pressing issues of European security and defense policy in order to send a „clear commitment to their countries“, she said on Monday at an event organized by Table.Media and the European Movement Germany. „We now have a historic responsibility and we will have to justify to ourselves one day whether we have heard the gong, whether we are ready to really commit.“
