Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse the European Commission's strategic priorities for 2024–2029 in the context of their implementation in a changing global and political environment. The author examines how political compromises, particularly in the European Parliament, affect the Commission's ability to achieve these priorities. The analysis is based on a case study approach, focusing on three main research areas: (1) the negotiation processes related to the formation of the Commission, (2) the European Commission's strategic priorities for 2024–2029, and (3) external factors influencing the achievement of the established objectives. The research verifies the hypothesis about the crucial role of institutional negotiations in implementing EU policies. The findings highlight the necessity of cohesive cooperation in the face of the complex and dynamic challenges confronting the European Union.
