EUISS screening of 'The Agreement'

On 12 December 2014, the EUISS hosted a screening of the fly-on-the-wall documentary film The Agreement. In 2012, Danish Director Karen Stokkendal Poulsen gained unique access to the diplomatic talks conducted by the European Union between Serbia and Kosovo. Accomplished British diplomat and strategist Robert Cooper led these negotiations and the documentary makes for gripping viewing, while also offering insight into the difficulties of getting two sides to talk. After the screening of the film at the Residence Palace in Brussels, Cooper and senior members of his negotiating team took questions from the EU officials and Brussels-based think tankers in attendance.
