Summary/Abstract: Visegrad Four (Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia) countries, known on international arena as V-4, never being strictly unified grouping, in the context of the migrant crisis in the EU (2015 and after) seemed to emerged as one, unified voice, at least in this particular issue. Due to the fact that especially Hungary and Poland are increasingly treated as a (nationalistic and populist) challenge toward the European values, as defined in so called Copenhagen criteria, the Author is trying to find the answer about the future of the V-4 in the EU in the years to come.
