  • Kerkaszentkiraly (SW Hungary) and Podturen in Croatia signed an agreement on building a bridge over the Mura river as well as a 3 km road connecting the two towns.

    • Mayor of Kerkaszentkiraly Zoltan Pal told MTI that Slovenia would also join the project, a small area of which is wedged between the Hungarian and Croatian towns.

    The mayor noted that ties had been close between villages on either side of the border before World War II, when many Croats owned and cultivated vineyards on the Hungarian side and used to take a ferry to cross the river.
