Czech soldiers also participated an EU Battlegroup formed by Visegrad Group(V4) countries, referring to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. The battlegroup ended its mission on Thursday. Another V4 Battlegroup is being planned for 2019.
The V4 Battlegroup was comprised of 3,700 soldiers from the four countries. Becvar said that Czech contribution was the second biggest after Poland.
