What main factors led to the success of the Visegrád Four in implementing democratic reforms?
What will be an ideal response?
Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic joined this accord that embraced democratic reforms and managed to deal with antidemocratic protests. They agreed on a platform of internal reforms including education, the environment, and joining the EU. They built regional trade to overcome the communist economy and become part of the market economy instead. Their success is attributable to three main points: agreement among the political leadership, public support, and economic and administrative infrastructures that were compatible with reform. They also had long-standing connections with the underground in their respective areas. Finally, both the EU and the United States regarded the economies of these four countries as the most advanced of the former communist states and invested in them both political hopes and financial resources.
