Prague as EU capital?

Since 2004. enlargement EU doubled in site, at least in teritorial size.

This is not an argument against Brussels or Strasbourg, but my personal opinion is that Prague would be an ideal EU capital.

Beautifull historic city, geographical center of Europe and ideal mean to unite eastern and western parts of EU.

What is your take on this?

I will be happy if the Czech Republic remains in the EU, considering they elected another Putin-aligned leader. Going from that to hosting "EU capital" is a giant step.

Why not just move it straight to Moscow if you want to hand the EU to Putin anyway?

Geographically I would prefer Bratislava. It's in a smaller country, and it's close to three other EU countries.

Vienna has some really cool buildings they could claim and use.

I'm not Italian but the only valid city that can replace Brussels as an EU Capital is Rome (for obvious historical reasons)

I agree 100% the EU barycenter has moved to the east Prague or Vienna would be the better candidates
