A meeting between Hungarian Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico will take place on July 7 or 9, Slovak press reports said on Thursday.
A meeting of the two PMs planned to take place in Hungary is on the agenda and the exact date is under discussion, the Hungarian government’s spokeswoman, Bernadett Budai confirmed to MTI on Thursday. An invitation for Fico to visit Budapest was handed over to the Slovakian side by Foreign Minister Peter Balazs in May, she said, adding that both governments seek to open a new chapter in Hungary-Slovakia relations.
Bajnai and Fico met briefly in Cracow at the meeting of prime ministers from the Visegrad Four lobby group Hungary and Slovakia form with Poland and the Czech Republic.
They did not discuss Hungarian-Slovak relations or a controversial remark by Hungary’s opposition Fidesz leader regarding ethnic Hungarians, Bratislava papers on Thursday quoted Fico as saying. He said that he is trying to deliberately separate relations with Hungary’s government and its opposition leader’s statements.
