Digital Assembly 2025 #2
Dear liberal friends,
In our constant efforts to increase the number of opportunities to meet the current leadership and discuss together the main issues we are facing today in Europe, it is time for our second LYMEC Digital Assembly of 2025!
This event (already our #11 Digital Assembly) will take place online on Saturday, 30 August 2025, from 10 h 00 to 12 h 30 CEST - Brussels time.
This Digital Assembly on ‘Serbian Students leading the fight against authoritarianism’ will start with an interactive policy discussion with high-level speakers in light of the ongoing protests in Serbia, the youth-led movement against corruption, and the growing concerns over the increasingly authoritarian stance of the Serbian government. The Digital Assembly will conclude with the LYMEC Bureau presenting their work and sharing their plans for the coming months. This will be primarily an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your comments with the current leadership.
Questions or comments can be sent to office@lymec.eu and bureau@lymec.eu anytime ahead of the event, otherwise, you are welcome to ask for the floor during the event!
This event is supported by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF) - Western Balkans and PSG Youth.
