The Visegrad Group and the Baltic Assembly: coalitions within the EU as seen through Russian foreign policy

Today Russia has difficulty doing business-as-usual with EU states. It seems that the countries of the Visegrad Group (V4) and the Baltic Assembly/Baltic Council of Ministers (BA/BСM) have contributed substantially to this state of affairs.

This article aims to address the question of whether Russia should establish direct relations with the V4 and the BA/BCM as tools to overcome the mentioned difficulties.

In answering this question, we achieve three objectives. Firstly, we look for an appropriate theoretical and methodological framework for the study.

This study uses a comparison method to analyse the activities of the two organisations and identify their significance for the EU.Vladimir A. OlenchenkoNikolay M.
