V4

The Visegrad Group, or the Visegrad Four (V4), is a Central European regional grouping whose members are Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. It was established in 1991 and its original goal was the joint accession of the Member States to Euro-Atlantic structures. At present, it mainly serves to coordinate policies within the EU at the level of both top state officials and administrations. The rotating presidency of the V4 is regularly passed between the individual states. The only fixed institution of the V4 is the International Visegrad Fund based in Bratislava.
