The Visegrád Four is an alliance between ČR, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary.
Back in 1335 there was a meeting in Visegrád between the rulers of Bohemia, Poland and Hungary, to create new commercial routes and gain easier access to other European markets.

The presidency of the group rotates each year in June. The International Visegrád Fund was established in 1999 and today it has an annual budget of €7 million. It is used to fund joint projects in the areas of culture, the environment, defense, transportation, tourism, energy and information technology.

This also helps explain why so many of the products I buy at the store are all labeled in Czech, Slovak, Polish and Hungarian.
Update: The V4 celebrated its 30th anniversary.
