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.
