“We cannot be grateful enough to István Pásztor, who reconciled the Hungarians and the Serbs, and showed the path on which the two peoples can move forward together,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in his eulogy given at the funeral of the head of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ), in Subotica on Saturday.
“We feel the weight of the political legacy left to us, we are central Europeans, so we know exactly how easily a friend can become an enemy, and how rare it is in this region for former enemies to become friends,” he said. About a decade ago it would have been unthinkable that the two nations could count on each other in everything, Orbán said, adding that “today it would however be unthinkable that we would not share in each other’s joys and pain”.
