DAILY REPORT OF THRACING ON MIC/ DAY 2

In Komotini’s School of Law, the tension remained at a very high level as the second day

of the Thracing On MIC took place. More crises, more incidents and of course more debates

were in the menu for very spiced discussions and arguments.

The United Nations General Assembly didn't fail to deliver once again. The member

states are debating about cyber security, the displacement crisis and the water and food supply

of the horn of Africa. The regional powers have made clear that they will not accept any external

interference other than military, financial and humanitarian aid. The cooperation of the delegates

is an astonishing example of the values that the UNGA promotes, such as equality,

multilateralism and respect.

Today it was evident throughout the heated debate that everyone was eager to jump into

action by finding viable solutions and propositions to many crises that occurred. The committee

started debating upon the matter of helping Western Balkans countries to become members of

the NATO alliance. Many delegations suggested the creation of common military and exercise

programs between these countries and NATO. The topic of China's and Russia’s influence on

the Western Balkans emphasized the need of energy and natural resources indépendance in

those countries. Then a major crisis: “the plethora of disputes between Serbia and Kosovo

result in violent and dangerous protests’’.The debate of this crisis did not fall short of

expectations as the majority of delegates condemned those in charge of the violent protests and

demanded that security and stability in those regions be restored.

The Council of Europe analyzed the remaining AI-related issues. More specifically,

representatives from both European and Balkan countries focused on the urgent need for

transparency and fairness in the field of information and politics, expressing their views on the

role that AI can play in eliminating injustice in the electoral process and misinformation of the

public. In this context, the Council referred extensively to the issue of public health, stating that

AI could be a valuable tool in the fight against unethical practices in order to ensure citizens'

privacy. Subsequently, after the analysis of all major issues, the delegates elected Greece as

the representative speaker to present a report identifying exactly the role of AI in all aspects of

everyday life.

Concerning the actions that took place in CoEU, it’s true that all the delegates focused on the

main topic of today’s crisis. An unexpected drone put under pressure the variety of delegations

and made them understand the importance of technical support, of protection of data and of

global cooperation. The EU decided that collaboration and the practical help of experts are the

most valuable solutions. The ambassadors didn’t rush to conclude on solving ideas but they

used their calmness and energy to elaborate and communicate their thoughts.

All in all, discussions kept escalating as delegates are reaching closer to the release of

their resolution papers. Proposals are starting to become more and more competitive, as

democratic procedures will be the deciding factor of the adoption of the resolutions.
