Some advocates of a closer Visegrad cooperation criticize Poland's emerging strategy, while euroskeptics in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia applaud the Poles. For example, the Czech Civic Democratic Party, heavily influenced by Czech President Vaclav Klaus, describes Poland as the Czech Republic's chief ally and an example of how new members should approach the EU.
一些主张更密切的维谢格拉德合作的人士对波兰的这种战略苗头提出批评，而捷克共和国、匈牙利和斯洛伐克反对欧盟整合的人（Euroskeptics）却对波兰人的做法拍手赞同。例如，深受捷克总统瓦克拉夫•克劳斯影响的捷克公民民主党将波兰形容为捷克共和国最重要的盟友和新成员国应该如何接近欧盟的范例。
