Abstract: The European Union’s aim is to promote democracy, unity, integration and cooperation between its members. However, in the last years it is not only dealing with economic crises in many countries, but also with a humanitarian one, due to the exponential number of migrants who run away from war or poverty situations. When the European Union leaders accorded in assembly to establish quotas to distribute the refugees that had arrived in Europe, many responses were manifested in respect. On the one hand, some Central European countries rejected the proposal, putting in evidence the philosophy of agreement and cooperation of the EU claiming the quotas were not fair. On the other hand, several countries promised they were going to accept a certain number of refugees and turned out taking even less than half of what they promised. This article will try to expose the issues that occurred, the aspects that revived tensions and the current situation between the European Union and Visegrad Group countries.
