Development Strategies of the Visegrad Group member states and their impact on the security of the region

Abstract

There have been several events in Europe and the Central European region over the last decade, many of which have had a significant impact on the lives of both the region and the countries in the region. Since the mid-2010s, the security environment in Europe, including Central Europe, has undergone a dynamic and far-reaching change and this process continues today. In the countries of the Visegrad Group, a change of direction has also begun in the field of national defence, with the unified goal of implementing radical force development. The main efforts of the V4's defence policy at the international level continue to be to involve member countries' armed forces in international crisis management operations, in line with their membership obligations in NATO, the EU and the UN.
