Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has posted a photo with Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger on his Facebook account in which both premiers can be seen smiling and wearing a shared scarf around their necks reading 'Slovakia'. The photo was captioned by Orban as: "The Hungarian - the Slovak, two good friends! A V4 summit begins in Kosice". A similar photo was posted by Heger on his Facebook account with the caption: "I noticed that Viktor Orban had an old scarf, so I gifted him with a new one today." Hungarian news website ATV.hu wrote that after the scandal caused by the Hungarian prime minister wearing a scarf with a map of Greater Hungary to a football match on Sunday (November 20), Orban has now made a rather surprising gesture. Greater Hungary included the territory of modern Hungary and parts of neighbouring countries that used to make up the pre-1918 Kingdom of Hungary. Orban's decision to wear the Greater Hungary scarf caused international uproar, with the Slovak, Czech and Romanian Foreign Affairs Ministries calling it unacceptable. Several other countries, including Ukraine and Croatia, reacted in a similar manner.
