The sun slowly rises over Prague, its rays reflecting off the green roofs of buildings covered with solar panels and gardens. I wake up in my smart home, which automatically optimises temperature and air quality based on my needs. The clothes I wear are made from biodegradable materials, designed to be easily recycled when worn.

On my way to work, I ride in an autonomous hydrogen bus that moves quietly through traffic-free streets. By 2035, stringent measures to limit emissions have been introduced across the EU, and massive investment in renewable energy has transformed cities into self-sufficient ecosystems.

Today, I'm free to take a short trip - a hyperloop will take me to Berlin in 30 minutes. Travelling between European capitals is now cheap, green and accessible to all. I think about how much the world has changed in the last 25 years: the climate crisis has forced humanity to act, technology has brought solutions and we have finally found a balance between progress and nature.

The future of Europe, I hope, can be oriented toward the pursuit of the least possible environmental impact, the pursuit of scientific progress in the medical field, greater integration among peoples and less financial inequality among people, more attention to civil rights

Pollution would finally be falling, and a real awareness would have taken place everywhere (Europe and the rest of the world). No more active military conflicts in Europe and as few as possible in the rest of the world. Politicians would at last be willing to act for the good of all, and not for their own personal gain. Leaders would take a long-term view and not just look ahead to election dates...

The European Commission, that group of liberal satraps, has at last been replaced by democratically elected leaders, their cowardly behavior in the face of Russia having discredited them and led to a revolt by the nations that refuse to accept the expansion of the Ukraine they have maintained at arm's length, to the detriment of their agricultures, invaded by low-end products. Nations that came only to benefit from subsidies have been ejected, and are content with a free-trade agreement. Great Britain joined the Union as an observer. The bankruptcy of the German system and its coal-based energy finally made it possible to dispense with its tutelage. President Trump died, victim of Musk's coup. China tried again to invade Viet-Nam and took another beating. And I'm 89 years old.

I hope that in 2040 the current EU will become a federal state (EFV) with one army, one leadership, well armed and a major power within NATO. Japan and Australia and South Korea will join NATO. Lithuania will have a standard of living above the EU average. Ukraine will be declared a candidate for the EFV and will participate as an additional force in its defence structure. Lithuanian industry will be dominated by new technology companies and scientific institutions will be able to train qualified personnel for this field. Lithuanian agriculture will become a highly productive sector and will not require compensation from the State. Corruption will be extremely rare and punished severely, just like drug use and distribution. EFV units will be deployed on the territory of Lithuania, i.e. on the EFV border. It will be easy to do business in Lithuania, with well-developed opportunities to export products to third countries other than terrorist countries, including Russia.
