| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the differences in risk assessment of the V4 states of two politically different but sensitive security threats (Russian influence and terrorism). The comparison was performed using the two latest versions of national security strategies. Using discourse analysis and placing each national approach in the context of both national and international politics, this research shows finds that significant differences exist in the understanding of security risks, despite the same geopolitical localization and comparable situation of the individual V4 states. Regarding the threat of restoring Russian influence in the region, but also in the matter of the fight against terrorism, each country accentuates different conclusions. An appeal to coordinate risk assessment would be appropriate not only for the government, but also on the expert and academic levels.
