Magyar said the sides would seek support from Brussels to build a motorway connection, the first between the two countries, construct a bridge over the Tisza, and open and improve border crossings. He added that Hungary is prepared to contribute to work on the Ukrainian side of the border crossing between Nagyhódos and Velyka Palad.

Nayyem acknowledged Hungary's readiness to finance construction on the Ukrainian side and confirmed that the countries would request together EU funding for the projects.

The meeting took place in the Ukrainian settlement of Astei, near the border.
