Summary/Abstract: The Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia recently initiated a new format of trilateral cooperation. On Wednesday, their prime ministers will have a tele-conference before the EU summit. Should anybody in the Visegrad Group get nervous about it? The ambitions, substance and motifs behind the new cooperation format remains an open question. According to the Czech Foreign Ministry, the main goal was to engage Austria with the Visegrad region, to which it had been reluctant so far. In addition, it was supposed to provide Czech diplomacy with a complementary platform to the Visegrad Group, and supplement its activities in a similar way as cooperation with the Baltic region supplements the Central European vector of the Polish foreign policy.
