Slovak V4 presidency priorities, goals and key achievements in energy

Summary/Abstract: Slovakia took over the presidency of the Visegrad group during a period marked by significant energy security challenges particularly due to the Russian–Ukrainian crisis which resulted in the disruption of the gas supply from Russia to Ukraine and reduced gas flows to several EU countries. Furthermore, tough negotiations on the climate and energy framework up to 2030 within the EU were finalized and resulted in ambitious targets on reducing greenhouse gases, developing renewable energy sources and improving energy efficiency. The long term fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation among Central European countries has again proved that the V4 is a guarantee of stability in the region, due to its ability to speak in one voice within the EU and on world platforms in many areas of the energy sector. The main goals, projects and achievements of the Ministry of Economy within the Slovak presidency are described in detail in the context of both regional and EU energy strategies relating to national energy sector features of the individual V4 countries.
