Speaker of Parliament: EU should take opinions of national parliaments seriously

The countries of the Visegrád Group are working towards forming a common position on the future of Europe, House Speaker László Kövér (leftmost) said after a meeting with V4 counterparts from Slovakia, Czech Republic and Poland on Friday.

The V4 countries aim to develop a position which people can identify with in Brussels and in every member state of the EU and which concerns not only interests but also values, he said.

The V4 would like to participate in the debates about the future of Europe as an equal partner

and they want the opinions of national parliaments to be taken seriously, he added.
