The Government of the Czech Republic has in public opened a website of the new Presidency of the EU. The slogan of the Czech Presidency of the European Union says "Europe without barriers" – which relates to the concurrency, four freedoms and the liberal trade policy. Other priorities include a sustainable and secure energy, the audit of the budget of the EU and the Joint agriculture policies, the trans-Atlantic relations, an expansion of the EU to the region of the Balkans and a progress in the areas of freedom, justice and security.
