STORYLINE:
The leaders of Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia gathered for an informal meeting in Prague on Monday to mark the anniversary of the formation of the Visegrad group.
The Visegrad group (V4) was formed 25 years ago to further the nations' European integration.
The group has recently found a common purpose in its unified opposition to accepting any significant number of migrants.
This determination has emboldened the group, one of the new mini-blocs emerging lately in Europe due to the continent's chaotic, inadequate response to the migration crisis.
The Visegrad group is also becoming a force that threatens the plans of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who wants to resettle newcomers across the continent while also slowing down the influx.
At Monday's meeting, leaders from the four nations will be joined by Macedonian President Gjorge Ivanov and Bulgarian Prime Minister Boiko Borisov so they can push for the reinforcements along Greece's northern border.
Macedonia began putting up a first fence in November, and is now constructing a second, parallel, fence..
They will also try to hash out a unified position ahead of an important EU meeting Thursday and Friday in Brussels that will take up both migration and Britain's efforts to renegotiate a looser union with the EU.
