EU begins talks with Hungary's incoming government

European Union officials arrived in Budapest on Friday for important talks with Hungary\'s incoming government. The visit comes after a big election defeat for long-time leader Viktor Orban.

Peter Magyar\'s Tisza party won a large victory and now has strong power in parliament. This could allow the new government to change important laws and policies.

The EU and Hungary have argued for years about democracy, courts, media freedom and the use of EU money. European leaders now want to see if relations can improve.

Orban said a political era had ended, but he also signaled that he wants to remain active in politics. That means the country may still face a tense transition even after the election result.
