Therefore, the desire and practice of peaceful coexistence is of particular importance. According to their hopes, an intergovernmental agreement on the care of war graves between the two states will finally be reached as soon as possible. The foundation is proud of the fact that, during its operation, this current location was the twenty-first location in Europe where some kind of objectified memorial (statue, headstone, plaque, etc.) preserves and recalls the standing of Hungarian soldiers.
