Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar opened a joint press conference at the Grassalkovich Palace in Gödöllő by quoting his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk, who had declared "the V4 is back" in Brussels. Magyar had held talks there with Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Magyar recalled that the Visegrád Four was founded 35 years ago — an anniversary the group is now marking. "Thirty-five years ago it was recognised that more unites our countries than divides them, and that it is easier to achieve success together," he said. All four countries — Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia — are committed to deepening their cooperation, he added, with the aim of building a V4 that delivers tangible results and speaks with a strong voice in EU decision-making.
