• 29 Aug 2025 7:32 AM

The strict enforcement of anti-drug laws is critical in the fight against drugs, Laszlo Horvath told a press conference, adding, at the same time, that rehabilitation and prevention were also key.

Horvath cited a new government decree under which civil society groups and individuals will also be able to contribute to school drug prevention programmes in the coming school year.
 

Sandor Toreki, a deputy police chief, said 215 million forints (EUR 542,100) have been allocated to the programme launching on Sept 1.

A total of 3,049 experts will be involved, including 2,222 police officers, he said, adding that the national police headquarters will set up a working group to coordinate the tasks concerning the programme.
