In the policy paper, the author Dominika Urhová focuses on two important initiatives—the European Global Gateway Initiative, which falls under the responsibility of the Czech Commissioner Jozef Síkela, and the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. The author underlines what opportunities Global Gateway presents for the Czech Republic and what is currently hindering its success in the target countries.
