Attitudes to the Visegrad Group after Thirty Years
The year 2021 marks thirty years since the founding of the Visegrad Group, of which Poland currently holds the presidency. This anniversary is a good opportunity to look at how Polish people’s attitudes to its members have changed over time. Over the last three decades there has been a clear improvement in Polish attitudes to Czechs, Slovaks and Hungarians, placing them among the nations that are currently most liked by Poles. Approximately six out of every ten people surveyed expressed liking for these nations, and relatively few expressed dislike. This year is a record year for the level of good feeling towards all the V4 members, with a correspondingly record low level of dislike. It is worth noting that 2021 has shown an improvement in attitudes to many nations, and for a large part of these this year’s results are the best ever.
