Announcing Zoltán Koskovics as one of the keynote speakers at the FNC 2026

The Future of Nations Conference is pleased to announce Zoltán Koskovics, a Hungarian geopolitical analyst at the Center for Fundamental Rights and author for Hungarian Conservative, who comes from a background of translation work, as a featured speaker at FNC 2026.

Koskovics is widely recognised for his expertise in global politics and international security,with a particular focus on U.S. and Russian policy in the context of great power competition.Over more than two decades, he has analyzed shifting power dynamics, conflict zones, and arms proliferation, offering insights into how contemporary geopolitical crises impact stability, governance, and international decision-making.

An active participant in international policy debates, Koskovics has engaged directly in high-level forums that shape strategic discourse. In May 2024, he co-hosted a Budapest event on U.S. election strategy with Spencer Chretien of Project 2025, and in January 2026, he spoke at the Quincy Institute on Europe and the Crisis in Transatlantic Relations, providing analysis on NATO, U.S. and European policy, and broader strategic challenges. These engagements connect complex geopolitical developments to practical insights for governance, international cooperation, and policy formulation.

Koskovics has also built a strong international media presence. He has appeared on the Greater Eurasia Podcast with Glenn Diesen, the Legendi Podcast in 2025 discussing Hungary’s foreign policy, and The Duran Podcast alongside Alexander Mercouris and Glenn Diesen in January 2025 on Hungary’s role in great power politics. His commentary has been cited in major outlets including The New American (2024) on the end of U.S. unipolar dominance, Magyar Nemzet (2025) on Europe and Ukraine, Izvestia’s English-language international edition on European energy policy, and Newsweek. He is a regular speaker at CPAC Hungary and collaborates in its organisation.

At FNC 2026, Koskovics will explore how geopolitical pressures and cultural dynamics challenge centralised governance. Drawing on his extensive experience in international policy forums and media commentary, he will examine practical alternatives through decentralisation and self-governance, illustrating how communities and nations can reclaim authority and navigate the complexities of global politics and international security. He will speak against technocratic and bureaucratic government, while highlighting the importance of well-structured, locally-informed governance.

Koskovics’ participation promises to provide attendees with nuanced perspectives on the strategic challenges facing nations today and insights into how decentralised, locally-informed governance can help safeguard stability, freedom, and resilience in an increasingly interconnected world.
