Orban: No economic issue more important than Hungarian-Croatian friendship

Addressing a joint press conference with his Croatian counterpart Andrej Plenkovic in Zagreb on Monday, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said he did not know of any economic issue that would be more important than the 800 years of friendship shared by Hungary and Croatia. Orban, who is on his first visit to Croatia in seven years, said after talks with Plenkovic that the lack of energy that currently characterises Hungarian-Croatian ties was "unnatural". He said he had arrived in Croatia to help put bilateral relations back on the right track.
