The meeting of the interior ministers of the Visegrad Group focused on current issues of regional security and cooperation in the areas of migration and border protection. Representatives of the states cooperating within the Salzburg Forum also participated in the meeting.

The ministers' discussion focused on the functioning of European security and information systems and their importance in data-sharing between Member States. Another important topic was the further development of European police cooperation and the role of European Union agencies supporting Member States in the area of internal security.

The programme also included a meeting of the Salzburg Forum, which brings together Central European states and other partners and focused on practical cooperation between security forces. One of the key topics was the cooperation of the European Union with the Western Balkan countries, especially in the area of external border protection and the prevention of illegal migration.
