Thirty Years Old: The Visegrad Group in Perspective

Earlier this week, the signing of the Visegrad Declaration in 1991 was commemorated as an important moment and stepping stone for Central Europe in its pathway to European integration. European Council President Charles Michel joined the four leaders in Kraków for a discussion to map out the future of the V4. But what achievements can the Visegrad Group look back on in the past thirty years? We hear former Slovak ambassador Magdaléna Vášáryová talk about the group's historical and present-day significance. We also discuss relevant pieces by Fellows Zsuzsanna Szabó and Radu Albu-Comănescu, recently published, showing how Central Europe is acting and being perceived in the wider European arena.
