The video seeing Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban waving at an imaginary crowd while sitting inside a train is going viral.
A foreign news agency reported that the imaginary crowd moment happened when they inaugurated a section of the Belgrade-Budapest railway.

Orban, in the inauguration, said that they have been connecting countries in the east-west direction for the past 70 years but forgot north-south connections are important.
“This resulted in an inappropriate situation that it took too many hours to arrive from Belgrade to Budapest,” he said.
