According to the decree, the agreement, signed in 2001, is being suspended “with regard to Hungarian citizens holding diplomatic passports until Hungary rectifies the violations of its commitments under this agreement or until it is terminated.”
The Russian Foreign Ministry was instructed to inform its Hungarian counterparts regarding the decision. There were no reasons listed why the sudden decision was made in the Kremlin, but the EU has already suspended visa-free entry for Russian diplomats to its territory as far back as August 2022.
