Hungary’s government has decided to invest 74.6 billion forints (EUR 243m) in rail lines in south-east Hungary, János Lázár, the government office chief, told a weekly press briefing on Thursday.

A fast rail line will be established between Szeged and Szabadka (Subotica), in Serbia, and the line between Békéscsaba and Szeged will be upgraded, Lázár said. A tram-train line will be constructed between Szeged and Hódmezővásárhely, he added.
