President Katalin Novák on Thursday relieved Romulusz Ruszin-Szendi of his duties as Chief of the Hungarian Armed Forces at the proposal of Minister of Defence Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky.
The minister has proposed Lieutenant General Gábor Böröndi, Hungarian Military Representative to the NATO and EU Military Committees, as his replacement in the position.
During his 30-year military career, Böröndi served in various command positions in the Hungarian Armed Forces and participated in European and non-European NATO operations.
He graduated from the Defence College and the National Defense University National War College Washington.
Lieutenant General Ruszin-Szendi did much to speed up and modernise military training while enhancing the combat capability of the Hungarian Armed Forces. Lieutenant General Ruszin-Szendi will continue his service to the country in another area.
The main task of the new Chief of Staff will be to continue the change of the organisational culture that has already started and to create a modern, effective Hungarian Defence Force displaying serious deterrent force, the statement said.
