Serbia and Hungary have signed a joint political declaration and six agreements, after a meeting of the Council for Strategic Cooperation between the two countries on Thursday in Budapest. This was the second meeting of the Council for Strategic Cooperation of Serbia and Hungary, after which the Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic, and the Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, signed the joint political statement. Orban said that Serbia and Hungary are linked by friendly relations and that they see a new chance in the “new reality” in the world that has opened up after Donald Trump won the election in the United States last week. “Now we have a new situation in the world. We call this the new reality caused by the result of the American elections. Now the new forces that have been suppressed until now will be successful,” Orban said.
Meanwhile, Serbian and Hungarian ministers signed six agreements in the presence of Vucic and Orbani. Among them the Agreement for International Legal Assistance in Civil Matters and the Cooperation Program in the field of culture for the period 2024-2027.
Before the meeting of the Council for Strategic Cooperation, Vucic was received in Budapest by Prime Minister Orban in a bilateral meeting.
