Hungary has submitted its revised Recovery and Resilience Plan (RRP) to the European Commission, a spokesperson confirmed to Euronews, in a crucial step towards unlocking billions of euros in EU funds frozen over corruption concerns under the previous government.

Now-prime minister Péter Magyar won April's general election, ending Viktor Orbán's 16 years of rule. Brussels had suspended the funds during Orbán's tenure over concerns about corruption and the rule of law.

Magyar agreed with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen two weeks ago to release €16.4 billion of funds to Hungary. Of that sum, €10 billion falls under the EU's post-pandemic Recovery and Resilience Facility, which expires if funds are not drawn down by the end of August.
