Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar is preparing for an intensive series of diplomatic meetings ahead of and during his first European Union summit. The summit is expected to span two days and will cover a range of critical issues, including the ongoing situation in Ukraine. Discussions are also planned regarding the volatile situation in the Middle East. A key focus will be negotiations surrounding the EU’s next seven-year budget. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is anticipated to participate in the summit, potentially adding another layer of complexity to the discussions. The Prime Minister has been actively engaging in preliminary talks to lay the groundwork for productive conversations with other EU leaders. This summit marks a significant diplomatic test for the newly appointed Hungarian leader.
