The CEI Summit, taking place in Rome on 19 December 2019 at the premises of the Italian Foreign Ministry (Farnesina), is marking the final phase of the Italian CEI Presidency in a year celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the Organisation. The Summit will be chaired by the Prime Minister of Italy, Giuseppe Conte, and will gather Prime Ministers or their representatives of the CEI Member States as well as high-level representatives of international and regional organisations and institutions.
The event is held at a crucial political moment for the region, in particular with regard to the EU Enlargement fatigue. In this context, the Prime Ministers are expected to stress the importance of European integration as crucial for strengthening the stability, prosperity and unity of the continent.
In addition, the Prime Ministers will discuss the economic integration between the countries, another important process going hand in hand with European integration, opening up to increased business opportunities and conducive to competitive market economies.
The Summit will also mark the transfer of the CEI Presidency from Italy to Montenegro, effective as of 1 January 2020.
