Continental Divides

Available for over a year

Misha Glenny explores a number of political divides facing Europe and asks whether the continent is undergoing the same crises it went through in the 1930s. In this fourth episode, he explores how different European countries are dealing with the war in Ukraine. First, in Serbia, a historic Russian ally is turning towards Europe - but not without political controversy. And in Sweden, politicians are plotting an uncertain future after long held principles of neutrality were finally abandoned in favour of NATO membership. Has Europe's role in NATO reached a crucial turning point? Producer: Artemis Irvine Executive Producer: Robert Nicholson Sound Design and Mix: Simon Jarvis A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4
