"Hungary will create a port and a logistics base in Trieste, to allow Hungarian businesses exporting overseas to conduct shipping quickly and without hindrance," said Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó at the V4+ Logistics Forum. He added that the sale contract could be signed around the beginning of July.

The estimated cost of the project is between EUR 60 million and EUR 100 mln. The development also aims at creating infrastructure allowing Hungarian companies to access an exit to the sea via road or rail in 24 hours.
