As part of the inauguration of the Polish Presidency of the Visegrad Group, a friendly football match took place on 3 July in Brussels, in which the ambassadors and diplomats of the Visegrad Group (V4) and the team of Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and Austria, as well as guest ambassadors of Greece and Estonia, played.

During the meetings with the Minister of Foreign Affairs Jacek Czaputowicz and the Minister for European Union Konrad Szymański discussions were focused on the Eastern Partnership and the integration of the Western Balkan countries.
