Černý, Robert ; Ševčíková, Michaela (advisor) ; Štípek, Vladimír (referee)
The aim of the submitted thesis is macroeconomic analysis, comparison and evaluation of nominal and real convergence of the Visegrad Group states with EU-15 states. By the help of regression model, one can state that in years 2004--2008 countries of V4 reached Beta - convergence with EU-15. However, this did not hold for the critical period in 2008--2012 when mainly Hungary lagged behind. There was proved a positive relationship between real and nominal convergence wherewith Balassa-Samuelson Effect for EU states was confirmed. The Czech Republic has always shown a lower nominal value than it would correspond to its GDP per capita, still it approximated to regression line over time. Other V4 states registered inverse course. During period 2004--2012, the Czech Republic performed Maastricht conver-gence criteria best from V4 states. Contrariwise, Hungary had the worst position of the ob-served period.

The second chapter will specifically address the creation and development of sub-regional grouping of Visegrád states. In the third and fourth chapter we will focus on current challenges, which determine the shape of Visegrád cooperation.

In the security and defence area we will focus on the V4 flagship project - European Union battle group consisting of the Visegrád group countries, which should be on the alert in the first half of 2016.
