Next year, the drive from Berehove, Zakarpattia to Budapest could take 2.5 hours on a 300 km, 4-lane, divided highway under a plan offered by Hungary to Ukraine on Wednesday. Hungary plans to build the final 40 km of its M3 motorway, extending it from Budapest to Ukraine’s border, Hungary’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó told his Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba at a meeting in Uzhgorod. Szijjártó also offered: to build a bypass road around Berehove and to extend it to the border; to rebuild Berehove’s hospital; and to rebuild and widen the main Hungary-Ukraine crossing point – the bridge over the Tisa River at Chop. The price for Ukraine is respect for the language rights of Hungarian-speakers living in Zakarpattia.
