In Hungary’s view Kosovo had the right to break away from Serbia after all of the tensions and establish itself as a sovereign nation.

In April 2023, Hungary along with Azerbaijan, Armenia, Cyprus, Georgia, Romania, Serbia and Spain voted against approving Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe.

While Hungary has supported Kosovo's sovereignty since the beginning, Serbia didn’t, creating tension between the two countries.

Despite this, Hungary has worked to maintain strong diplomatic and economic relations with Serbia, focusing on cooperation in areas like trade, energy, and security which both can benefit.

Slowly but surely, the relations of Hungary and Kosovo started to pave the path in the economic direction, as well.

One of the highest activities that marked an advancement of bilateral relations from a political dimension was the organization of the Economic Forum under the Prime Minister of Kosovo at the time, Hashim Thaci, as a part of Kosovo’s Government for investment promotion.The Economic Forum took place in Hungary- Budapest with the presence of the Hungarian Prime Minister at that time, Orbán Viktor.
