At the start of the 1990's, following communism's fall, the common experiences and the shared legacy of Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and Poland were behind the idea of creating the so-called "Visegrad Group," with the aim of coordinating the three countries' efforts to join the EU and NATO. The Visegrad initiative worked to some extent, though it was temporarily paralyzed by the disintegration of Czechoslovakia just over a decade ago.
自20世纪90年代开始，随着共产主义的失败，共同的经历和共有的遗策就成为捷克斯洛伐克、匈牙利和波兰创建所谓"维谢格拉德集团" （Visegrad Group）的推动力。建立该集团的目的是为了协调三国加入欧盟和北约的努力。维谢格拉德行动虽然由于捷克斯洛伐克十年前的分治一度陷于瘫痪，但也产生了一定的效果。
