In the current geopolitical situation, the Visegrád Group (Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) faces mounting challenges that threaten democratic values and regional stability. With pro-Russian governments and democratic backsliding in Slovakia and Hungary, the upcoming parliamentary elections in the Czechia, as well as Poland’s upcoming presidential election, the political landscape brings with itself many uncertainties.
Join us for an in-depth discussion with the former prime minister of Slovakia and former minister of defence of Slovakia on the state of democracy in the V4, Russian influence in the region, and the implications for defense and foreign policy— with a particular focus on Slovakia. Our expert panel will analyse the broader geopolitical outlook and what the future holds for the region in this era of uncertainty.
