BELGRADE - Serbian Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesic met with Hungarian counterpart Janos Lazar in Belgrade on Tuesday.

This conversion of universities from public institutions to privately managed entities involves handing over at least 600 million forints (1.7 million euros) in starter capital in cash or in-kind contributions (movable assets, real estate or intellectual property) or a combination of both, which will lay the ground for them to operate as non-profit institutions in the future.

A Bulgarian woman has died in a chain crash on a highway in Hungary earlier on Wednesday morning. Another two Bulgarians have been injured. They have been taken to a hospital in the town of Szeged, reported BNR.

According to unconfirmed information, two minivans transporting the Bulgarians run into a bus of a Romanian company. The vehicles have a Targovishte registration.

The Hungarian Army on Monday started to prepare the terrain near Morahalom, a small southern border town of about 6,000 people, for the erection of a four-metre-high fence designed to stop illegal migrants.

The authorities are only erecting an "experimental" fence, here however, no more than 150 metres long.
