The talks are expected to be held on Thursday, September 11.
Earlier reports indicated that Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha, planned to visit Hungary amid rising tensions between the two countries.
Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, confirmed Sybyha’s visit and the planned meeting with him in Budapest.
"Will meet Andrii Sybiha in Budapest this week to discuss Hungarian-Ukrainian relations. We believe in dialogue and are always ready for talks. But the ball is on Ukraine’s side: real progress is only possible if rights taken from Hungarians in Transcarpathia are fully restored," he said.
