The handover of the Visegrad Group Presidency to Hungary was accompanied by signs of the times, Christian symbolism, reflecting the strength and values not only of our roots, but also of the Polish-Hungarian closeness and common, inseparable history.

Opening the exhibition dedicated to Saint Vladislav, the Speaker of the Sejm reminded that Christianity came to Central Europe in the century before the reign of St. Ladislaus, when our states were established: Hungary and Poland, but also Bohemia or the Kingdom of Croatia. Saint Ladislaus became a symbol of Christian and chivalrous virtues in the eyes of his contemporaries throughout the centuries up to the present day, which this exhibition and our meeting today are the best proof of. Saint Ladislaus, whose mother was Polish and great-grandmother was a Czech princess Dabrowka, the wife of the first Christian ruler of Poland - Prince Mieszko, personifies in himself the history of Visegrad relationships and cooperation.

The place of the exhibition was not accidental - the exposition stood in Cracow between St. Andrew's Church - the only church in those times to survive the invasions of Europe, and the monument to Piotr Skarga, who, as the Marshal pointed out: points to the direction we should pursue as nations that care about nobility, courageously protecting what is most important to human beings: dignity.

The Speaker was accompanied by the Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament László Kövér, parliamentarians and Hungarian pilgrims to Jasna Góra.
