According to the Ministry, Mucunski and Klein welcomed the steady development of relations between the two governments and noted that in 2025 those ties were elevated to the level of strategic cooperation. Both officials expressed their readiness to deepen partnership in areas of shared interest.
The conversation focused chiefly on the European Union enlargement process and current regional security challenges. The ministers stressed the need for a credible and dynamic enlargement path that would support stability, reforms and development across the Western Balkans, and they voiced an expectation that Hungary will continue to back the region’s European perspective.
