The event, which is intended to build relations in Central Europe, is being held for the fourth time and several ministers are planning to visit it this year.

The global political situation in recent months has offered observers experiences comparable only to a roller coaster ride. We are talking about turbulent times. Perhaps it would be worth saying what this term means. It is neither a coincidence nor chaos. It means a targeted transition from a unipolar model of world governance to a multipolar one. The most important institutions in our environment, such as the EU or NATO, were instruments of this old world governance. Now that world governance is changing, these institutions must logically also undergo a certain transformation, which is both a threat and an opportunity for us. Our task is to be able to quickly and thoughtfully navigate this situation and make the most of it for our nations. While last year it seemed to us that the countries of Central Europe were at a crossroads, now that two Europes - Western and Central-Southeastern - have become the reality of today, we say that "Central Europe is already going its own way", which is also the title of this year's conference.
