Summary/Abstract: This report focuses on crisis processes in the European Union, which give rise to the need for reforms in several areas: Greek debt, deteriorating relations with Russia, "refugee" flow, increase in the number of terrorist acts, the referendum in the UK. The author stresses that there are very few positive examples for consensus on long-term measures against future threats. Crisis prevention through deep anticipating reforms is something new in the European policy. However, the EU would not allow "refugee crisis" to remain unused.
