Szijjarto discusses EU integration with Georgia counterpart

Hungary is committed to supporting Georgia's European Union integration "with deeds as well as words", Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said after a meeting his Georgian counterpart, David Zalkaliani, in Tbilisi. Hungary has deployed "integration experts" to Georgia, while 13 Hungarians also work in the EU's monetary mission in the country, Szijjarto told an online press conference on Friday. Hungary will continue to fund those efforts, he said. Hungary is "glad to support" Georgia's aim to submit an accession application to the EU in 2024, and welcomes Georgia's making the first steps towards EU integration, the minister said.
