In the framework of the Hungarian V4 Presidency, a meeting of the defence and law enforcement committees of the national Parliaments of the Visegrád countries and Slovenia was held in Debrecen on 27-28 January. Discussions were held on issues related to the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum and on defence co-operation among the V4 countries. The event was hosted by Lajos Kósa, Chair of the National Assembly’s Committee on Defence and Law Enforcement.
In his addresses, Lajos Kósa stressed that V4 countries were committed members of NATO and the EU. He considered it essential to build an EU-level asylum and migration system capable of coping with the current challenges, the constant migration pressure on the EU's external borders and the hybrid attacks using migration as a tool. He also welcomed the defence co-operation and defence industry links between V4 countries and projects aimed at the joint procurement of military equipment and ammunition
At the end of the meeting, the representatives of V4 countries unanimously adopted a joint declaration.
