What is the Visegrád Group? What led to its creation? What are the characteristics of the member countries? How is the V4 relevant today?

Austin, and Professor Tamara Trojanowska from the University of Toronto, took place.
This online discussion delved into the political, cultural, and economic aspects of the the Visegrád Group from its founding and the three decades that followed. Through 'Canadian' eyes, it assesses the successes and failures of the alliance, examines the interaction within and outside the alliance, explores the cultural dynamics of the four countries, and the future trajectory of the V4.
