Budapest Mayor István Tarlós announced he will cooperate with the mayors of Warsaw and Bratislava to make sure they get a fair share of funding from the EU’s 2014-2020 budget. The three mayors recently meet in Budapest to strategize. Tarlós said that the cities should be able to access European funds for transportation and energy projects by promoting Central and Eastern European interests within the EU and by developing partnerships with non-member countries. Tarlós said Prague Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda has also signaled his intention to participate in this cooperation.
