Zsolt Németh: three goals for the Visegrad Group

– Central Europe has a chance to make a huge leap forward – said Zsolt Németh, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Hungarian Parliament. He also formulated three goals for V4 cooperation:

1) further construction of the more widely perceived Central European area, primarily by the infrastructural developments; 

2) common advocacy in Europe in the debate on the future of the EU ( – We must create unity in diversity and preserve the role of nation states – he said). 

3) V4's commitment to solidarity with European countries outside the EU, ie. Serbia, and support for the enlargement of the EU;
