The Visegrad Group, also known as the V4, includes the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. The Czech Republic currently holds the rotating presidency.
According to the Czech Presidential Office, at this conference, the leaders of the four member states will discuss projects funded by the international Visegrad Fund. The fund was established in 2000, with an annual budget of 10 million Euros, of which the four members contribute equally.
The aim of the fund is to contribute to strengthening relations between the peoples of the member countries through cultural cooperation, scientific exchange, research and cooperation in the field of education. In addition to the scholarship program, the fund also provides funding to non-governmental organizations.
At the conference, the Group will discuss projects related to the Western Balkans region, the Eastern Partnership Agreement and the solution to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Central European support for Kiev, the situation in the Middle East and EU enlargement are also expected to be on the agenda.
