In a message sent to President of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians István Pásztor, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán praised the election result of the Hungarian community in Serbia, Bertalan Havasi, the Deputy State Secretary heading the Press Office of the Prime Minister informed the Hungarian news agency MTI.

Mr Orbán wrote he was delighted to learn that in the Sunday parliamentary elections the Hungarians of Vojvodina demonstrated repeatedly that they believe in the strength of unity, and are not afraid to take their fate into their own hands. He added that if the current hopeful projections are confirmed, from now on there could be twice as many Hungarian members in the Serbian Parliament, while on a regional level the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians became the third strongest party, and a number of settlements which have special significance for our nation could be headed by Hungarian mayors.

According to Mr Orbán, there is no doubt that this result is also a message to the entire nation, and it is all the more precious because it is the fruit of many years’ hard work and perseverance.
