Summary/Abstract: The Czech foreign policy (CFP) towards Central European countries will be analysed as a single (more or less) coherent dimension of the Czech foreign policy where the multilateral and the bilateral cooperation are closely intertwined. This chapter analyses the Czech Republic’s involvement in the Visegrad cooperation and its bilateral relations with Poland, Austria and Slovakia. However, to be sure, the next chapter (Vladimír Handl) analyses the CFP towards Germany, which, from the Czech foreign policy point of view, is considered to also be a part of Central Europe.
