RTVS | Summit of V4 Prime Ministers in Prague

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk met separately ahead of the Visegrad Group summit in Prague, where the main points of discussion were the war in Ukraine and energy security. Vít Havelka, an analyst at EUROPEUM Institute, commented on the position of the Hungarian or Slovak Prime Minister and the overall direction of the Visegrad Group for Slovakian television RTVS.

I would like to say that the fact that there are fundamental differences between individual states regarding the approach to Ukraine, does not mean that the Visegrad Group as a whole does not make sense. It is an institution that relies quite heavily on cooperation within the state administration and on regional cooperation, and I expect that to continue.
