President Zoran Milanović of Croatia is currently on a two-day official visit to Hungary, during which he engaged in discussions with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in Budapest. The meeting emphasized the need for robust diplomatic initiatives to foster peace and security across Europe, a sentiment echoed by Prime Minister Orbán.
Invited by Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok, President Milanović met with him earlier in the day to strengthen diplomatic ties. The first day of the visit wrapped up with the meeting with Prime Minister Orbán, setting a collaborative tone for addressing regional challenges.
On the second day of his visit, President Milanović, alongside President Sulyok, is scheduled to participate in the ceremonial celebration of the Day of Croats in Hungary. This event is particularly significant as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Croatian National Self-Government and the 35th anniversary of the Alliance of Croats in Hungary. Additionally, the Presidents will visit the municipalities of Bilje and Kopačevo in Osijek-Baranja County, where they will engage with representatives of the Hungarian national minority in Croatia.
This visit not only underscores the importance of unity among neighboring nations but also highlights the rich cultural ties and shared history between Croatia and Hungary.
