Szijjarto: High-speed rail link next top Slovak-Hungarian transport project

The next most important joint Hungarian-Slovak transport project is the construction of a high-speed railway connecting Budapest, Bratislava and Warsaw, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday. The new rail line will reduce travel time between Budapest and Warsaw to five and a half hours from the current 11-12 hours while the trip from Budapest to Bratislava would be cut to an hour and a half, Szijjarto told reporters ahead of the inauguration of a new bridge spanning the Danube between Hungary and Slovakia near Komarom, northern Hungary.
