Pavel received the Hungarian president at the Castle

Czech President Petr Pavel welcomed Hungarian President András Baka and his wife at Prague Castle. Discussions focused on energy, European coordination, and future Visegrad cooperation. This visit marks Baka's first official foreign trip since taking office in August. Following their meeting, Baka will meet with Senate President Miloš Vystrčil and House Speaker Tomio Okamura, and later with Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. The visit follows a recent joint government meeting where cooperation on high-speed rail was discussed, with both countries seeking EU budget funds for this initiative.
