Hungarian parliament speaker hosts Western Balkans conference in Budapest

The Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament, László Kövér, hosted a conference of parliament speakers from the Western Balkans in Budapest on Friday, bringing together senior legislative figures from across the region.

Kövér addressed delegates at the gathering, which provided a forum for the heads of national parliaments to engage on matters of shared concern across the Western Balkans.

Hungary has maintained an active interest in developments in the Western Balkans, and the Budapest conference underlined the country's efforts to strengthen parliamentary ties with its south-eastern neighbours.
