The future of the Visegrád Group (V4), a regional alliance of Central European states, is uncertain and dependent on mending strained relations between Poland and Hungary. While improved ties between Warsaw and Budapest are crucial, they alone won’t solve the wider issues confronting the V4. The alliance has faced challenges in maintaining unity on key policy areas in recent years. These difficulties stem from diverging national interests and political priorities. Successfully navigating these challenges requires more than just a bilateral fix between Poland and Hungary. A broader reassessment of the V4’s goals and a renewed commitment to regional cooperation are also necessary for the group to remain relevant and effective.
