The two presidents agreed to encourage further steps in this direction.
Presidents Plevneliev and Áder shared the view that the European Commission should not reduce funds for the Cohesion Policy, because it is a policy for growth and regional development is supported through it. The two heads of state discussed developments in Greece and emphasised that support for our southern neighbours must be accompanied by serious reforms by the new Greek government.
The two Presidents discussed the situation of the Bulgarian minority in Hungary. According to President Plevneliev, the attitude towards the Bulgarian community there is an example of tolerance and support by local authorities.
