PM Orbán changed his favourite personal accessory – can you spot it on the photo?
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán travelled to Slovenia today to celebrate the linking of the two countries’ electricity grids with his Slovenian counterpart. The photo he posted of his departure shows that something important changed in his outfit. Can you spot it?
The Hungarian prime minister has a new black backpack, the official one of the 2022 Qatar Football World Cup. Mr Orbán has always been a football fan and regularly used the official backpacks of the world cups. He has used that bag of the 2006 world cup (organised by Germany) for years. In July 2014, he bought the Brazilian version and donated the previous one to the Hungarian National Museum.
Orbán shared a post on the first day of the 2022 Qatar World Cup saying that Serbia would win the tournament. Serbia is currently last in group G but still has a chance to advance from the group stage if they defeat Switzerland this evening.

Bertalan Havasi, the prime minister’s press chief, said when Orbán’s timetable allows him, he will watch the matches in the stadium as an official guest of FIFA. However, he did not tell whether Orbán had already been to Qatar for the world cup. Telex.hu asked who gave the prime minister his new backpack, but they have not received an answer yet.
Orbán: Hungary-Slovenia relations free of problems
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met with Slovenian counterpart Robert Golob for a working lunch in Maribor on Friday, Orbán’s press chief said. The meeting was attended by Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó, and the talks focused on the challenges affecting energy security in Europe, Bertalan Havasi said. The two sides were in agreement that the linking of the two countries’ electricity grids was a great success, with work already completed and a ceremonial event to be held in the presence of the two prime ministers in Cirkovce later in the day, he added.
Orbán and Golob also stated that bilateral relations between Hungary and Slovenia were free of any problems and they expressed support for further economic development in border regions.

Hungary-Slovenia energy link ‘symbol of hope for the future’
The linking of Hungary and Slovenia’s energy infrastructures is a symbol of the two peoples’ hope for the future, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said at a ceremony marking completion of the construction of the cross-border Cirkovce-Pince electrical transmission line, in Slovenia’s Cirkovce on Friday. Hungarians and the peoples living on the territory of the former Yugoslavia used to be cut off from each other, the prime minister said. Hungarians therefore built all of their links in an East-West context, whether it be gas, oil or electricity, he added. This separation remained after the breakup of Yugoslavia, making Slovenia the only one of Hungary’s neighbours with whom it had not had its gas, oil or electrical grids linked, Orbán added.
