“There are great opportunities for collaboration in terms of regional security, economic cooperation and the well-being of our peoples”, concluded the President of Romania.

Hungarians voted in large numbers (over 77.8%) on Sunday in a crucial election for the country's future, closely watched in the EU, Moscow and Washington. Official figures showed a clear lead for the opposition led by Péter Magyar, who may have the parliamentary majority needed to topple the Fidesz system.

After counting 72% of the votes, the projection for the 199-seat parliament looks like this:

Tisza: 138 mandates
Fidesz: 54 mandates
Mi Hazánk (Our Fatherland): 7 mandates

If the results are ultimately confirmed, Tisza will have a constitutional majority that will allow her to make major changes to replace the Fidesz system.
