Our Martin Michelot, in his latest blog, analyses President Macron’s upcoming visit of the Czech and Slovak Republics.
Our Martin Michelot, in his latest blog, analyses President Macron’s upcoming visit of the Czech and Slovak Republics.
This visit, beyond its historical and symbolic dimension, will also bring to the fore the issues of the relationship between France and the Visegrad countries (Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia) and the European feeling among political leaders of these countries.
Even if the Czech Republic, and especially Slovakia, want to be constructive European partners, certain differences of opinion, especially on the future European budget and migration issues, will be felt.
The full blog in French is available here.
