We agreed with the government of Romania that on voting day, April 8, all ten border checkpoints that are usually closed to be open from 8am to 6pm Hungary time, so this will facilitate the access of Hungarians from abroad to Hungary, Szijjártó said.

We have agreed with the government of Romania for two of these facilities to be opened permanently, so they will work permanently as of the end of this year, and the Romanian government also voiced readiness to open a third access route, the Hungarian Foreign Minister said.
