On June 30, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Vasyl Bodnar met with ambassadors of the Visegrad Group (V4) countries. This was reported by the press service of the Foreign Ministry.
The meeting participants touched upon discussion of the results of the Czech presidency in the Group and the transfer of powers to Poland from the beginning of July this year.
According to the Czech ambassador Radek Matula, Ukraine was in the focus of the Czech presidency during the year, although not all projects were implemented because of the coronavirus pandemic.
