Hungary is ready for Visegrád Group cooperation to strengthen further, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó said on Sunday, commenting on the outcome of Slovakia’s general election in which the opposition parties secured a landslide victory. The V4 forms an effective and close alliance within the EU, Szijjártó said, adding that the region had become a growth engine in Europe as well as a zone of safety.
On the topic of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia, he said it was clear that Hungarians wanted national interest representation in Slovak politics. Hungarian parties failed to get seats in the new Bratislava parliament.
