Minister Janos Lazar informed about the status of the Olympic bid, the second border fence and the national consultation, among other issues.
The government regards the bid to host the Olympic Games as closed, the Minister heading the Prime Minister’s Office Janos Lazar announced at his weekly press conference. He remarked that, in his view, with the campaign and debate that would necessarily take place in the event of a referendum, Hungary would „embarrass itself”.
Mr. Lazar also announced that the government has decided on the construction of a second line of defence behind the technical border fence on the Serbian-Hungarian border section.
The national consultation which Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced regarding the five sources of threat that Hungary is facing in the Government’s view will begin in March.
