Summary/Abstract: Slovenia could have been the perfect and the best candidate to the V4 club, but while in the first meaningful decade of the V4 cooperation (1998-2008) there was limited pressure from the Slovenian side to join the Central European club, in the second decade rather the Visegrad countries became reluctant to widening their cooperation. The key questions are: Is there enough interest for changing current status quo? Can the Russian aggression in Ukraine and the migration crises create new logic for cooperation? Which are those fields where deepening the cooperation would make sense? Is there a broader, European perspective that has an impact on enlarging the V4? Finally which are those projects where we could start the cooperation?
