Abstract
The Visegrad Group has been in existence for over three decades. The four countries of Central Europe — the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia — have become a key area of regional development in many spheres — from political, through economic, to socio-cultural. The changes taking place in the immediate region of Europe, which began in 1989, primarily involved the domestic and foreign policy of the above-mentioned countries. These transformations also included relations with new neighbours and the process of European and Euro-Atlantic integration. The Visegrad Group states achieved their priority goals of membership in the European Union and NATO, which strengthened ties and cooperation. Due to the annexation of Crimea by Russia and the deepening conflict in Eastern Ukraine, which definitively changed the approach to security in the immediate European environment, defence issues dominated mutual contacts between the V4 members. Hence, the Visegrad Group states have expanded international cooperation in the space sector. Currently, according to the report of experts from the Polish Space Agency, the Visegrad Group countries participate in various initiatives in the area of space activities. The aim of the article is to present the degree of development and involvement of the Visegrad Group states in the field of space policy. The analysis of selected aspects of cooperation will attempt to answer the question about the prospects for further activity in the face of new challenges and threats of the 21st century.
