| Summary: | In the article, the author analyzes the program and plans of Hungary’s Presidency
in the Council of Europe, a body that unites 47 countries of the continent today. This is the second presidency of Budapest in this representative European organization and, like the first time, it comes at a difficult time in terms of both the international situation and the global situation with the Coronacrisis and its consequences. The author notes that in parallel, Hungary will also chair the Visegrad Group. And taking into account the Slovenian presidency of the Council of the EU from July 2021, we can talk about the time of Central Europe in continental politics. The author notes that significant changes in this regard should not be expected, but the countries of the region will try to focus the attention of the whole of Europe on the issues of concern to Central Europe. Noting Hungary’s characteristic desire to bring the issue of national minorities to international discussion, the author also emphasizes the desire of Budapest, which successfully maintains contacts both in the eastern and western directions, to help resolve the new and old crises that have accumulated in relations between the East and the West of Europe to this day. |
