The 12th conference in 2018 was held in conjunction with the V4 energy ministers summit during Slovakia’s V4 Presidency. The 13th conference formed part of the official programe of the 2019 Slovak OSCE Presidency. During the 14th conference that was held during an unprecedented economic crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic the ministers discussed the priorities of the Slovak Recovery Plan for the first time.
