New era in ties between Hungary and Slovakia?
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Páter Szijjártó and House Speaker László Kövér have congratulated Peter Pellegrini on his victory in the second round of Slovakia’s presidential election.
“Congratulations, Mr President! More strength for the sovereignty defence and pro-peace forces,” Szijjarto said in a post on Facebook a little after midnight on Saturday.
Kövér wrote in a letter that Pellegrini’s “decisive victory amid high voter participation” gave him a “strong mandate”. He noted that the ethnic Hungarian community in Slovakia had backed Pellegrini “in large number”.
He added that Pellegrini’s election could pave the way for “a new era” in ties between Hungary and Slovakia.
