“Much of Hungary voted for Tisza because they wanted to get rid of this Russian dependency,” said Zselyke Csaky, a senior research fellow at the Center for European Reform, based in Brussels. “But once governing starts, and Tisza has more clarity on what this relationship means, perhaps they will have some hard decisions to make.”

...Ms Csaky said that she expected Mr Magyar to remain cautious in his Ukraine policy, given divisions in the Hungarian electorate and the continued energy dependency on Russia.
