With Hungary and Slovakia being among the few EU member states still importing Russian crude via the Druzhba pipeline, analysts say these events and the surrounding rhetoric underline how energy security, geopolitics and propaganda have become increasingly intertwined.

The primary focus of the project was to enhance the detection of cardiac arrhythmias and recurrent circulation, while optimising the energy levels required for defibrillation and cardioversion—that is, restoring normal heart rhythm.

The restoration is particularly complex, as the building lies in a protected heritage zone and on an archaeological site. The works will cover more than 4,200 square metres of façade and involve the painstaking restoration of 670 square metres of limestone cladding at ground level.

Behind the new initiatives stand EU and domestic funds: one scheme introduces an on-demand bus service, the other prepares the ground for green modernisation with hydrogen-powered buses.

At a time when Hungary faces a growing housing crisis—marked by rising rents, precarious livelihoods and the dilapidated condition of much of its social housing—the national debate rarely turns to systemic solutions. Kecskemét, however, is seeking to change this with a multi-year programme backed by the European Union.

Hungarian and Slovak water authorities face the same challenges, which makes close cooperation indispensable—particularly since Hungary is a downstream country, with much of its rivers’ catchment areas lying abroad.
