Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor
Orban reiterated his great admiration for the policies of
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, saying that Serbia is one of
the most successful countries in Europe today.
Speaking at a press conference at the end of talks today in
Budapest with Vucic, Orban said that the stability of the
Balkans is linked to the stability of Serbia. "It is fortunate
that Serbia has a president committed to the stability of the
Balkans." According to the media in Belgrado, Orban emphasized
in particular the importance of bilateral cooperation with
Serbia in the field of energy and infrastructure, with projects
launched for the construction of a 300-kilometer oil pipeline
between the two countries, and a fast railway line between
Budapest and Belgrade.
"There can be no energy stability for Hungary without Serbia,
just as there can be no energy stability for Serbia without
Hungary," Orban said.
Vucic was previously awarded Hungary's highest state honor by
Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok for the Serbian president's
historic role in bringing the two countries and peoples closer
together, and for strengthening the strategic partnership
between Serbia and Hungary. Vucic said this recognition is one
more step in the successful cooperation between the two friendly
and neighboring countries.
