After a series of tests, she was transported to the Szeged clinic by ambulance where she gave birth to a 3970 gram healthy baby boy police.hu reported.

The Hungarian law didn’t adopt the territorial convention, but rather the bloodline convention; as a result, the nationality of the baby boy is determined by his parents’ nationality. In other words, the baby remains Syrian citizen even if he was born in Hungary.
