Heads of governments of four central European nations will hold an extraordinary summit over imported low-quality food on Thursday in Warsaw, Slovak Premier Robert Fico said on Monday.

The four nations -- also called Visegrad Four or V4 -- are Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic. They are in a cultural and political alliance.

"We want to approve a declaration at the summit with an exact description of problems concerning imports of poor-quality products," Fico said.

"We want to react to something that we can't accept -- being made into second-class people. We'll demand that the European Commission intervenes against this practice," he said.

Slovak Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Gabriela Matecna recently claimed that official laboratory tests have confirmed that the quality of almost half of the same products manufactured by supranational producers was better in Austria than in Slovakia.
