The Ukrainian side has sent Hungary a new proposal regarding the venue and date for a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar. Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi said this at a briefing, according to a Ukrinform correspondent. 'A meeting between President Zelensky and Prime Minister Magyar is being planned. We have been ready for it for a long time. Even before Péter Magyar's election, we were discussing schedules and possible venues for the meeting. I can confirm that, as of now, there is a new proposal regarding when and where exactly the leaders could meet. We have conveyed it to the Hungarian side and hope that such a meeting can take place,' he said. The diplomat noted that Kyiv would welcome a meeting between the leaders and hoped it would help put the normalization of Ukrainian–Hungarian relations on a stable footing. As previously reported by Ukrinform, on September 4, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Vsevolod Chentsov said that Ukraine was making progress in addressing Hungary's concerns regarding the protection of ethnic minority rights, and that the relevant legislation was being prepared for submission to the Verkhovna Rada.
