Euractiv | EU enlargement to the East: support grows but conditions remain key
The Central European countries - Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic - are unequivocally in favour of the enlargement of the European Union towards the East and the Western Balkans. At the same time, however, they stress that the path to membership must be conditional on fulfilling all the established criteria.

Report | Discussing Ukraine in V4 mainstream media
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, media coverage of the country has increased significantly. Interpreting and commenting on events, putting them in the news and shaping the debate about Ukraine's future prospects in relation to European integration has thus become an important part of the responsibility of most mainstream media. However, as the war drags on, the V4 citizens' awareness of the conflict has diverged. At different times, some topics have been given more emphasis than others, making the quality of coverage often incomplete or unconvincing. Some countries emphasise the autonomy of reporting, which in turn allows for broad and in-depth coverage, while there are regimes that narrow the information and use the topic of war to produce stories for domestic purposes.
