Europe will become an equal player in the global format only when it becomes a federation, Czech Minister for European Affairs Martin Dvořák told EURACTIV.cz in an exclusive interview.

"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.
