"Moscow and the Kremlin have spoken, and Beijing has spoken. I thank them for their respectful acceptance of the Hungarian voter’s choice, the decision of the Hungarian people. They are open to pragmatic cooperation, just as Hungary is, because geography is geography, and, for example, Hungary’s (relations) with Russia will change in the right direction, I hope, in the near future," the Tisza leader said.
As previously reported, the Kremlin does not plan to congratulate Péter Magyar, the leader of the opposition Tisza party, on his victory in Hungary’s parliamentary elections, as it considers the country unfriendly.
