Czech and Polish foreign ministers discuss V4 cooperation

Foreign Minister Petr Macinka (Motorists) held a phone call on Monday with his Polish counterpart Radosław Sikorski, discussing, among other issues, security and cooperation within the Visegrad Group  (Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia). Macinka stressed that the new Czech cabinet places great importance on close relations with Poland.

The heads of diplomacy will meet in person later this month at a ministerial summit in Brussels. Since taking office, Macinka visited Slovakia in mid-December and travelled to Ukraine last week.

During a recent visit to Slovakia, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) also voiced support for renewing cooperation within the V4, a position echoed by his Slovak counterpart Robert Fico.
