Priorities of the Slovak V4 Presidency

The 2018-2019 Slovak V4 Presidency will continue with the implementation of priority initiatives within strategic objectives set during the previous Hungarian and Polish Presidency, while coordinating work with the following Czech Presidency, which will begin on this day next year. The priorities – Strong Europe, Secure Environment and Smart Solutions – of the Slovak Presidency will be centred around three basic principles:

• promoting unity wherever it is possible – the Slovak Presidency will strive to achieve a consensus in matters jointly promoted in a better way at the European level
• offering solutions where it is beneficial – the Slovak Presidency is interested in a mutual implementation of such projects that have a practical positive impact on citizens in V4 countries

• respecting differences where it is necessary – the Slovak Presidency will seek consensus while fully respecting national interests
