Kovács is best known for acting as the postulator in the beatification process of Áron Márton, a one-time bishop of Alba Iulia. Further, his service in Rome enabled him to get a unique insight into the culture and life of central European nations, Orbán added.
“We are thankful to Providence that from now on he can put his knowledge and experience in use to serve the diverse Catholic community in Transylvania,” Orbán said in the letter.
