The European Parliament supported the initiative, and the European Commission’s Vice President Suica stressed that the proposed Center for European Citizens’ Democracy goes in the direction set by the citizens and will contribute to the democratic ecosystem. Our focus must be on developing an ecosystem of democratic innovation and of citizens engagement and participation in democracy.
