Serbian President waving at nobody pretending there’s a crowd gathered there to celebrate the new railway line is one of the best metaphors for politican-voter interactions I’ve seen in a long while pic.twitter.com/oYOvmkb1R9

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.
