Slovakia and the V4 after COVID-19

As COVID-19 hit Europe particularly hard this spring, Central Europe was less affected than many other regions, but showed great differences in their handling of the sanitary crisis. Among them, Slovakia undoubtedly stands as the most successful on the whole continent in “flattening the curve”. This happened in a very special context as the epidemic broke out just after a change of government and a major electoral landscape in the country. In this episode of .think atlantic, IRI’s Thibault Muzergues and his guest Grigorij Meseznikov analyze how Slovakia and the Visegrad four managed the crisis, and what comes next.

Grigorij Meseznikov is a Slovak political analyst, promoter of democracy, and chairman of the Institute for Public Affairs (IVO), a renowned think-tank in Slovakia.
