"The EU’s role in the world is gradually growing, but it is not nearly as strong as its population and economic power would suggest,” the Czech minister said.

“I know that it is not at all popular. I think that a European Federation or a United States of Europe would only put Europe in a position where we would be a truly equal partner in the game between China, America, or Russia and India,” he added.

It's not often that I can be proud of a fellow Czech when they express their opinion about EU.

You should be. I also believe he's on the right track. Hopefully his input will resonate with others, and help shape a better and more secure future.

I think many countries are too nationalistic for this to happen in the near future.
