A delegation from the Venice Commission will visit Hungary on Thursday to discuss a constitutional reform put forward by the government, Euronews has learned from the body's spokesperson.
The Venice Commission is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional law.
Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok requested the Commission's assessment after the government of Prime Minister Péter Magyar initiated his removal through a constitutional amendment. The Commission is examining the draft legislation under a fast-track procedure.
The spokesperson did not disclose whom the experts will meet during their visit. Both the president and the government have signalled openness to talks.
Magyar has repeatedly called on Sulyok to resign, describing him as "Orbán's puppet". Sulyok has declared the removal bid unlawful and referred the matter to the Venice Commission.
