V4 cooperation can currently be described as the most clearly profiled initiative in Central Europe. The backbone of this cooperation consists of contacts at all levels from political summits at the highest level to expert and diplomatic meetings, the work of non-governmental associations in the region, think-tanks and research bodies, cultural institutions and numerous networks of individuals.
 
V4 HISTORY

The V4 was formed on 15 February 1991 at a meeting attended by the President of the former Czechoslovak Republic, tje President of the Republic of Poland, and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Hungary. The central motive was the desire to intensify cooperation and friendship among the three Central European states. All of the V4 countries aspired to become members of the EU, perceiving their integration in the EU as another step forward in the process of overcoming artificial lines of division in Europe through mutual support. They achieved this aim on 1 May, 2004 when they all became EU members.

V4 PRESIDENCY

V4 operations are based solely on the principle of periodical meetings of the member states representatives at all levels (prime ministers, heads of states, ministers, experts, etc.). An official prime ministerial summit takes place on an annual basis. Between these official summits, which are usually held each June, one of the V4 countries holds presidency over the group. The Presidency of the V4 countries rotates each year.
