Szijjarto: V4 to speed up development plans

The Visegrad Group countries plan to further and speed up their development plans, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Ljubljana on Friday, after a meeting of the heads of government of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia. One key development is a high-speed railway between the Visegrad countries, he said, adding that such railways are scarce commodities in central Europe. The new railway line is planned to link Warsaw and Budapest via the Czech Republic and Bratislava, Szijjarto said. The feasibility study for the Hungarian section has already been completed, and the V4 working group for transport issues is convening in September, he added.
