Gen. Huszár said that our participation demonstrates Hungary’s commitment to NATO, the Baltic allies and the V4 partner nations. He pointed out that from 1 July on, Estonia will hold the rotating presidency of the European Union, whereas Hungary will take over the presidency of the V4 member states. This coincidence can draw significant attention to the Hungarian contingent’s presence in Estonia, the commander of the HDF JFC added.
He also noted that most of the departing soldiers were drawn from the personnel of the HDF 25th Klapka György Infantry Brigade, but other military organizations also contribute to the task. Having been equipped with all necessary technical assets, the company-strong contingent will be serving in the international environment for three months.
