What distinguished them among other countries of the group were similar foreign policy priorities and the opportunities to achieve them. This fact laid the grounds for international cooperation started in 1991 under the name of the Visegrád Triangle. During its Presidency of the Council of the EU, the Member State defines the course of action and assumes a managing, mediatory, representative and symbolic role, presenting the positive qualities of the state internationally. From 1 January to 30 June 2009 the Presidency was held by the Czech Republic, which focused on financial effects of demographic changes and improvement of quality and accessibility of healthcare services. Hungary exercised the Presidency from 1 January to 30 June 2011 and its priority was to ensure sustainability of healthcare systems in light of ageing population and growing health gaps. The Polish Presidency, whose main aim was com- bating inequality in access to healthcare, lasted from 1 July to 31 December 2011. The common priority with regard to free movement of persons was an exchange of information and experiences, as well as promoting mutual understanding between EU Member States, which were all obliged by the cross-border Directive to provide all citizens with equal access to high- quality healthcare services, while preserving their distinctness. 1 Division of Public Health, Faculty of Health Science, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland 2 Faculty of Health Science, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland (past student) 3 Faculty of Health Science, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland (past student) 4 Division of Public Health, Faculty of Health Science, Medical University of Warsaw, Poland 9 Wojciech Boratyński, Aneta Cyndrowska, Anna Marszałek, Paulina Konstancja Mularczyk Aim The paper intends to present priorities and activities of the Visegrád Group in the field of healthcare during its Presidency in the Council of the European Union as well as to assess the cohesion and integrity of those activities. Material and methods The assessment involved an analysis of selected documents regarding the healthcare-related priorities and the arrangement of meetings and conferences during the Presidencies of individual member states of the Visegrád Group. Similarities and differences visible during the Presidencies were analysed. Analyzed documents came in the legal acts of the European Union (EUR- lex), Government websites relating to the Presidency of the European Union and to the Presidency of the V4 Group. Source were published in the period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2012. The criterion for the selection of documents were the keywords: the presidency of the EU, the Presidency of the V4, health care, health policy. The documents examined under the angle the similarities and differences in reference to these areas. The history of the European Community After the end of the Second World War, European states agreed that it was necessary to avoid similar tragedies in the future. One of the originators of the idea was Winston Churchill, who proposed to establish a European federation in his speech given at the University of Zurich in September 1946. In 1948 Józef Retinger and Duncan Sandys organised the Congress of Europe in the Hague, where delegates from 25 European countries discussed the unification of Europe [1, 2]. As economic abuse was common in the French sector of the Allied-occupied Germany, Jean Monnet, Commissioner of the French Planning Board, proposed an uncomplicated, technocratic mechanism for France‟s and Germany‟s common raw material market, which led to signing, on 9 May 1950, a declaration enabling
