From the very outset, the activities of the Visegrad Group were aimed at strengthening stability in the Central European region. The participating countries perceive their cooperation as a challenge and its success as the best proof of their ability to integrate also into such structures, such as the European Union.
Roberto Galea spoke to Dariusz Kałan (@Dariusz_Kalan) from the Polish Institute of International Affairs about the main achievements of the first 25 years of the V4.
"We [the V4 group] must be proactive in every single discussion in the European Union," Kałan said.
