The heads of Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary are assembling for the first significant Visegrád Group summit in over two years.
Gatherings of these nations had largely halted following Russia’s 2022 large-scale invasion of Ukraine — mainly due to former PM Viktor Orbán. Now, with the Hungarian leader out, the format is renewed, but can the group effectively collaborate?
Additionally, we are observing the U.K., where Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigned yesterday, with former Manchester mayor Andy Burnham likely to succeed him. What implications does this leadership transition have for EU-U.K. relations? We delve deeper into the scenario.
Moreover, starting July 1, European Parliament workers will have more opportunities to work from abroad annually — increasing from five to 10 days. This change is a welcome one for any employees envious of the Commission’s liberal work-from-abroad policies.
