Abstract

The Belt and Road Initiative today is one of the biggest integrational projects in the world. It connects Asia, Africa and Europe, so it is no surprise that the European countries tend to assess their benefits and losses from taking part in it. The Southern European economies are willing to participate in the BRI, as it may bring them serious economic boosts; on the other hand, Brussels warns on dangers of BRI and sees numerous negative sides of such cooperation. The article is devoted to revealing the pros and cons of cooperation with BRI for Southern Europe, the real instruments that China possesses in this project and the motivation of Brussels position. The authors have revealed the main opportunities for the Southern European countries in BRI and the real dangers of such cooperation and proved that the dangers feared by Brussels do not correlate with the real ones.
