The V4 countries have been more active since the change of the Hungarian government, which can give them influence according to the EU energy commissioner.

Since the change of government in Hungary, the Visegrad Four (V4) have become more active, according to EU Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen. He emphasized the importance of member states coordinating their positions to strengthen their influence. The V4's cooperation, which began in the 1990s, had diminished under Viktor Orbán's leadership but has revived recently. Jørgensen noted that while the V4 works well together, they do not always agree on all issues. The group recently collaborated with Italy and Greece to delay the extension of the emissions trading system. Discussions also included reducing dependence on Russian oil while ensuring energy security. Jørgensen highlighted the housing crisis in Hungary and the EU, advocating for affordable housing initiatives.
