"Today, we will enable the citizens of Serbia and Hungary to cross the border between the two countries freely without quarantine," said Peter Szijjarto.

Szijjarto's remarks came after a meeting with Serbia's European Integration Minister Jadranka Joksimovic and the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina's Assembly Speaker, Istvan Pasztor.

Pasztor welcomed the border opening as an exceptional success.

"We often say that relations between the two countries are at an all-time high, and this day is a good confirmation of what that means," said Pasztor.
