The paper explores basic political relations between the European Union and India which are at theoretical level almost “terra nullius”. The paper starts from the present epochal situation and enters the realm of EU–India geopolitics from the perspective of Gandhian moral practice on one side, and challenges presented by the impact of Coronavirus politics on the other. Our question is – on which platform is strategic negotiating between the EU and India possible? Despite their Lisbon summit in 2000 as well as virtual summit in 2020, it is obvious that until today the EU and India could not find a common denominator. Our idea is that the missing link of a better understanding partly lays in the new perspective that may be unexpectedly found from the Balkans’ point of view. Only unprecedented cognizance today may set up the roadmap for the times to come.

Artykuł przedstawia podstawowe relacje polityczne między Unią Europejską a Indią, które na poziomie teoretycznym pozostają niemal „terra nullius”. Artykuł wychodzi od obecnej sytuacji międzynarodowej i rozwija sferę relacji między Unią Europejską a Indią z perspektywy praktyki moralnej Gandhiego z jednej strony, i wyzwań jakie stwarza obecna pandemia Koronawirusa z drugiej. Podstawowe pytanie badawcze brzmi, na jakiej platformie możliwe są strategiczne negocjacje między Unią Europejską a Indią? Pomimo szczytu UE-India w Lizbonie w 2000 r. i wirtualnego szczytu w 2020 r., podstawy realnej współpracy nie zostały wypracowane. Autorzy wykazują, że przyczyną tego są odmienne cechy cywilizacyjne obydwu regionów, a zwłaszcza postawa Unii Europejskiej, będąca dziedzictwem epoki kolonialnej, oraz jej korporacyjna, a nie republikańska natura. Postawa ta jest sprzeczna z wartościami cywilizacji indyjskiej i jej polityki odwołującej się do “energii moralnej”. Proponowanym kluczem do rozwiązania problemu polegającego na braku możliwości porozumienia odmiennych cywilizacyjnie partnerów, ma być zupełnie nowa perspektywa, jaką oferuje bałkański punkt widzenia.
