Budapest/Bratislava, July 19 (TASR) - Evaluating the completed Hungarian presidency of the Visegrad Four grouping (Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland) and approving the new programme of the Slovak presidency (July 2010-June 2011) will be the main topics of a meeting of V4 premiers in Budapest on Tuesday, the Slovak Government Office press department told TASR on Monday.
Slovakia will be represented at the summit by Prime Minister Iveta Radicova, who will later hold bilateral talks with her Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban.
At the summit, Slovakia is set to report on its presidency priorities. In addition, the premiers will discuss the activities planned to mark the 20th anniversary of the grouping next year. [The original Visegrad grouping has a far longer history, in fact, with its very name coming from a meeting between Hungarian King Charles I, Polish monarch Casimir III the Great and King John of Bohemia in the Hungarian town of Visegrad in 1335. - ed. note.]
Another subject of the talks in Budapest on Tuesday will be current developments in Europe with a focus on the mutual interests of the V4 countries, a revision of the EU budget, the new financial framework for several years ahead, and the EU Strategy for the Danube Region.
