2024.04.22.

„The future of cohesion policy will be one of the most important topics of the Hungarian EU presidency,” highlighted Tibor Navracsics, Minister for Public Administration and Regional Development, at the first Cohesion Summit 2024 held at the Ludovika University of Public Service (LUPS) on April 18th.

This was in consideration of the lessons from the Ninth Cohesion Report of the European Commission and the report presented by former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta on the future of the European single market.
