The way forward cannot be a return to the past, with its clashing nation-states. The future can be secured only by strong cooperation among all those committed to liberal democracy and the rule of law, with no double standards or excuses, and by patient strengthening of international institutions that embody these values and can translate them into practice.
前进之路不能开道车，欧洲不能倒退回民族国家互相碰撞的状况。唯有所有致力于自由民主和法治精神的国家展开强有力的合作，杜绝双重标准和各种借口，耐心地强化坚持这些价值并能将它们转化为实践的国际机构，才能保障我们的未来。
