In the framework of the Hungarian V4 Presidency, a scientific conference was held about the two mini-lateral formats - the Visegrád Four Cooperation and the Benelux Union - at the prestigious Egmont Palace. After the opening speech of Mr. François Roux, senior advisor of Egmont Institute and Ambassador Tamás Iván Kovács, the panelists focused on why these two formats are successful, what are the possible challenges they must face in the new European power balance, and how the members of these groups can enhance cooperation with other Member States.
