Summary/Abstract: Fifteen years have passed since the Visegrad countries joined the European Union. Moving from the main purpose of a joint return to Euro-Atlantic structures, the Visegrad Group has become a visible platform for dialogue and cooperation in Central Europe. Even though the perceptions of the Visegrad Group within the EU have often been labeled as a coalition against something, there are several policy areas where the V4 countries can positively contribute to the European Union agenda. The results of the Visegrad Trends 2019 have indicated a rising importance of the issues of climate change, cyber security, energy security and instability in the EU neighborhood. The Visegrad countries can positively contribute to all of these rising issues. Especially in the area of cyber and energy security, there is broad experience and expertise.
