Slovakia should bring V4 back towards EU

"Slovakia's role is to bring the Višegrad Four Group (Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland) back into the game towards the European Union," stated Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD) after talks with Foreign Affairs Minister Miroslav Lajčák (a Smer-SD nominee) on Wednesday. One of the ways to achieve this is to invite other EU-member states such as the Benelux countries, France and Germany to wider meetings with the V4 whose presidency Slovakia takes over in July. Frictions between the Polish and Hungarian Governments and EU institutions on the topic of adhering to EU principles of liberal democracy have put a strain on the functioning of the Višegrad Group, too.
