ČT24: Maltese EU Presidency
On January 1, Michal Vít was a guest of the Studio ČT24 program, where he commented on the Slovak presidency of the Council of the EU, its successes and failures as well as expectations from the following Maltese presidency.
"Visegrad's reputation in the EU is said to be toxic. On the other hand, we need to also look at the real job V4 has been doing."
"The role of a presiding country is role of a mediator rather than a mean of pushing individual agenda. This indicates that Malta is expected to follow what Slovakia has started."
