Currently, the BBC World Service operates in 43 languages worldwide.

Hungarian could soon join this list as part of the BBC’s ambition to expand its reach and provide independent, impartial news to more audiences.

The new Hungarian pilot service is expected to be announced later this year.

The move marks a revival of BBC’s Hungarian-language service, which was discontinued in 2005 along with several other Eastern European language services.
