Brussels – Incoming Hungarian leader Peter Magyar vowed Wednesday that frozen EU funds would start flowing to Budapest soon, after talks with top officials on his first visit to Brussels since defeating Viktor Orban.

Conservative Magyar jetted to the heart of the European Union before he takes office next month in a clear sign that he intends to turn the page on the bad blood of Orban's 16-year rule.

He said he agreed with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen in a "highly constructive" meeting to return in late May to agree to a deal on how to free up the funds.
