The Visegrád Group countries have established a “family friendly coalition”, Katalin Novák, Hungary’s family affairs minister, said on Thursday.

Novák took part in a videoconference on family affairs with her Polish, Slovak and Czech counterparts Marlena Malag, Milan Krajniak and Jana Malacova, respectively.
