The move is “incomprehensible”, as the Romanian side has not provided any substantive explanation for the decision and Hungary has never rejected a similar request by a foreign country, said Anna Nagy.

She said the decision went against European practices. Hungary is rather disappointed because Titus Corlatean, the Romanian foreign minister, spoke in a highly positive tone about further developing Hungarian-Romanian relations after the formation of the new Hungarian government.

Hungary operates consulates at the country’s embassy in Bucharest and in Miercurea Ciuc (Csíkszereda) and Cluj (Kolozsvár).
