Trump Evropu dotlačil k užitečné sebereflexi. Bude to stačit?

01. března, 2026 Střední Evropa

  V únoru 2026 uspořádali evropští lídři na belgickém zámečku Alden Biesen neformální „brainstorming“, při kterém se intenzivně radili, jak starý kontinent ekonomicky vrátit na globální stupně vítězů. Vzápětí se pak vesměs titíž politikové sešli na Mnichovské bezpečnostní konferenci, kde navázali debatou o tom, jak by se měl postavit na vlastní nohy z hlediska obrany a bezpečnosti…. Celý článek >

Únava, zima ani ruský teror Ukrajinu nezlomily

24. února, 2026 Střední Evropa

  Před čtyřmi lety začala ruská invaze na Ukrajinu. Od té doby se podoba války zásadním způsobem změnila a její konec bohužel stále není na dohled. Stojí proto za to zrekapitulovat, co se na Ukrajině za poslední čtyři roky dělo a v jakém stavu se dnes nachází.   Prvotní zděšení z ruské agrese, ale i euforie… Celý článek >

Visegrad after 35 years: the end or a new beginning?

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

In mid-February, the Visegrad Group (V4) will mark 35 years of its existence. The celebrations will be awkward. They will be orchestrated by the current Hungarian presidency, which will certainly want to use the event in its tense campaign ahead of the April elections. Viktor Orbán faces his first defeat after sixteen years in power…. Celý článek >

Central Europe, the interests of the V4 states and the end of the Kundera’s myth

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

Central Europe is a region full of internal contradictions, grandeur and smallness at the same time. It is full of world visions, breathtaking achievements and exceptional minds, it has been teetering for centuries between doubts and complexes about itself on the one hand and auto stereotypes about grandeur and civilizational superiority on the other. The… Celý článek >

How the war and Viktor Orbán have changed Poland’s view of the Visegrad Group

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

It will soon be the fourth anniversary of the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine. The events of February 2022 have had a significant impact on Poland’s perception of the regional alliance. It became clear that viewing it primarily as a united front of EU sceptics was insufficient. The paradigm of the Visegrad Group’s (V4) primacy… Celý článek >

Attitudes towards Ukraine as a polarizing factor in Slovakia

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

The war in Ukraine has been going on for four years and has an impact on Slovakia that cannot be overlooked and is fundamental given the country’s European future. However, it is not primarily about economic factors, although these are of course also important. The topic of the war in Ukraine, Slovakia’s attitude towards the… Celý článek >

The war in Ukraine has put Slovakia to a historic test

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

Russia’s war against Ukraine has thrown Slovakia into a stress test, laying bare its weaknesses, but at the same time speeding up a long-delayed transformation. Without the war, GDP growth would have been faster and more stable. Instead, the 2022 invasion triggered a sharp surge in energy prices, pressure on industry, and household budgets. Yet… Celý článek >

The most emotional ally

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

Poland’s response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was nothing short of wholehearted. In 2022, it seemed as though Polish politicians had set themselves a competition over who could help Ukrainians more, and then proudly awarded themselves first place. Three years on, military and logistical cooperation continues, but the rhetoric at the top has undergone… Celý článek >

Cognitive failure in Slovakia, or a cultivated feeling of irresponsibility?

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

Slovakia, under the leadership of Prime Minister Robert Fico, has experienced a paradigmatic turn in relation to the war in Ukraine. From the reputation of a country that in 2022, under the government of Eduard Heger, was one of the first to start supplying weapons to Ukraine and expressing all-round support for it, it has… Celý článek >

There’s no going back to the life before the war

04. ledna, 2026 Střední Evropa, Visegrad project 2025

Assertiveness on the international stage and broad support for high defense spending—the Russian full-scale aggression against Ukraine, ongoing for more than three years, has left a clear mark on Polish politics. Attitudes toward the threat posed by Russia and the challenges to the country’s security are weakening the polarization that has been deepening for years…. Celý článek >
