The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine has canceled the recommendation to citizens to refrain from traveling to Hungary after the end of the election campaign in the country.
This was reported by Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha.
According to him, during the elections in Hungary, increased risks of provocations were recorded, in particular due to manipulations on the topic of Ukraine. Now that the campaign is over, restrictions for Ukrainians have been lifted.
In addition, Sybiha noted that Ukraine is counting on the gradual normalization of relations with Hungary after the elections and is ready for further cooperation.
He also emphasized that work lies ahead to restore trust, find common interests, and strengthen good-neighbourly relations between the two countries.
