The young participants of the Project PRO-EU concluded the following statements and policies as desirable for building a Europe of young people:

The European culture and its diversity as well as the national identities must be maintained
Possibilities for studying and working in the whole territory of the EU without inside border need to be ensured
We want Europe which empowers its citizens
The power possessed by the young people means the real power for the future of Europe
We ask the questions, not only what Europe can do for us, but what we can do for Europe
We want supports for the youth entrepreneurship, as the main driver for innovations and economic development
The administrative measurements relating to health services, education, employment, travelling and similar ones relating to the standard life need to be maintained and developed further
The territory of the EU need to be kept peaceful and secure for the safe of the next generation
We want independent Europe as much as possible
EU must support its citizens as much as possible as regards their family life and children programs so that the decline of the population be hindered
Efforts need to be made for creating a cleaner, greener and sustainable environment
The innovative capability of the EU need to be developed and should be competitive worldwide
The financial capacity of the EU must be used with large efficiency for the general development of this area
The experiences of the countries need to be exchanged and shared
Less developed countries need help to reach the level of the more developed members
The unique capabilities and advantages of the less developed countries should obtain support in order to reach the market of the more developed countries
The co-operation of the Eastern countries –like Visegrad Group- should be recognised and their activities need more attention
We should stay united, keep freedom and democracy for ensuring a better life for the new generations
We accept the slogan: ‘If not united, then remains alone’
