Hungary officially opened a counterterrorism center in Budapest on Wednesday when Interior Minister Sandor Pinter presented the founding document to Police Brigadier General Janos Hajdu, head of the new facility.
The new center is charged with investigating acts of terrorism, kidnappings, and the hijacking or skyjacking of trains, buses, aircraft and other vehicles used in public or cargo transport as well as with protecting the prime minister and president. It is also responsible for analyzing and evaluating the terrorism risk level in Hungary.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban addressed the first official meeting of personnel at the new center where he emphasized that a well organized, well equipped counterterrorism center with highly qualified personnel was essential to a developed and strong country. He pointed out that with its first independent counterterrorism center, "Hungary had taken another major step towards becoming a strong and modern country able to protect its citizens and gain respect for its interests."
