Serbian patriots can count on Hungarian patriots, Orban tells Vucic

BUDAPEST - Serbian patriots can count on Hungarian patriots, Hungarian PM Viktor Orban said in a message to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

"Dear Aleksandar! Dear Serbian patriots! I send you my greetings from Budapest. We have been watching developments in Serbia for months now. Foreign powers are trying to interfere in the lives of the Serbs. That is happening here, too. Foreign powers are trying to tell the Serbs how to live. They are doing that here, too," Orban said in a video message.

Those who advocate the sovereignty of Serbia are constantly under attack, Orban said.

"We, too, are being attacked for that. We see that you are not giving up, we see that you are fighting bravely, because you want a sovereign Serbia. You are not alone, your struggle is our struggle, too. Serbian patriots can count on Hungarian patriots. Long live President Vucic, long live Serbia!" Orban said.
