The existence of modern European democracy is impossible without the protection of civil, political, sexual, national and minority groups. The Center focuses its attention on the current state of national politics in Europe, how it is formed, how it is formed by the authorities of European Europe. The national minorities of several European countries still lack democracy and need constant protection work. Formation of common standards, norms, and approaches in Europe with respect to national minorities is what our Center does and what its employees consider their important task. One of our activities is to study the life of the Jewish communities of Europe, their interaction, the issues of formulating the definition of antisemitism, the creation of a single database of information on terrorist organizations and threats to Jewish communities in the EU.
