The Founding of the Visegrad Group

The Visegrad Group is founded by the President of the Federal Republic of Czechoslovakia, Václav Havel, the President of the Republic of Poland, Lech Walesa, and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Hungary, Josef Antall.

This group was established with the signing of the “Declaration on Cooperation between the Federal Republic of Czechoslovakia, the Republic of Poland, and the Republic of Hungary in the pursuit of European integration”. Additionally, they decided to abolish/disengage from all institutions created during the Cold War, including the Warsaw Pact. The latter was agreed to be officially dissolved on July 1, 1991, in Prague.
