Today, European Geostrategy publishes the sixth in its series of ‘Long Posts’, which is by Xymena Kurowska, of the Central European University, Budapest, and Bence Németh, of the Hungarian Ministry of Defence. This Long Post looks at the struggle for influence in Central Europe, which has drawn in observers, insiders, outsiders and caretakers, such as the Atlantic Alliance, the European Union, Poland, Italy and the United States. It looks to the Visegrad Battlegroup and the Central European Roundtable on Defence Cooperation as future and additional anchors for countries at the geographic heart of Europe.
