Summary/Abstract: The integration of the Visegrad Group countries to the European Union was a very important milestone on their post-communist transformation paths. By their accession to the EU, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia fulfilled one of their most important foreign policy objectives, which were set up in the early 1990s. At the same time, political elites in the V4 countries had to start looking for new priorities and goals for Visegrad cooperation in the so-called post-integration period.
