Stratfor presents 2016 forecast

Poland will carry out a quite bold policy towards Russia, and immigration and nationalism will fragment Europe, widening the gulf between France and Germany, 2016 annual forecast by Stratfor showed. American think-tank Stratfor also predicted that Poland will deepen cooperation with the Visegrad countries, loosening its relations with Berlin and Brussels. While Poland will pursue "a hawky policy" towards Russia, the EU will not impose more severe sanctions on Moscow. When it comes to the immigration crisis, closed borders in Europe will become "a new daily basis thing" and France and Germany will pivot to right, Stratfor also predicted. Furthermore, the weakening Islamic State will attempt to organize new attacks and power-dividing agreement will not be reached in Syria.
