Vucic Hosts Orban at His Father's House Near Belgrade
The former Hungarian prime minister visited Vucic, and the meeting was posted as an Instagram video. Sources differ on whose house it was, and nothing is known about their talks.
Aleksandar Vucic hosted former Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban at a house near Belgrade on Saturday, October 31, 2026, and posted the meeting as a short video on his Instagram profile, @avucic. The clip carries the caption “Viktor and I. A story of friends,” according to B92.
The meeting came on the same day the Main Board of the SNS met at the Belgrade Arena. Kurir reports that Vucic announced there that he would leave the gathering early because Orban was visiting him. We wrote earlier about that session, the resignation of Milos Vucevic and the extraordinary party assembly scheduled for December 13, but not about this meeting until now.
What Vucic and Orban said in the video
Vucic is the first to address the camera. According to Novosti, his words were:
“I am very happy to be able to host Viktor Orban, my great friend, my brother, and we will have a good time here in my father’s house, near Belgrade. And yes, we both lost elections recently, but we have not lost our dignity, our pride and our faith. Welcome, Viktor.”
The speech in the video was translated from English, so the wording differs between outlets. B92 has “our pride and our faith,” Novosti has “our own pride and our own faith,” and Press.rs has “dignity, pride and faith.” Press.rs, unlike the others, also has Vucic call Orban “the brother of my great-grandfather” at the start. The meaning stays the same, but the exact translation is not identical across sources.
Orban, as B92 reports, thanked his host for the invitation:
“Thank you very much for the invitation. I am very happy to be here.”
He then told Vucic:
“And you can be sure, Aleksandar, that I personally am always on your side.”
He closed with a wish for Serbia: “I hope that Serbs and Serbia will be successful in the future.”
Sources describe the end of the video differently. Novosti and Press.rs say Vucic wrapped up with the words “Thank you, we will be back,” while B92 writes that the joint recording ended with his words of welcome.
Whose house was it?
Novosti and Srbija Danas carry Vucic’s words about “my father’s house, near Belgrade.” N1, as summarized on Naslovi.net, writes that it is the family home of his parents in the Belgrade area. Press.rs mentions only a family house close to the capital. A father’s house and a parents’ house need not be two different buildings, but no source gives the exact location.
Who is Orban now?
N1 recalls that Orban lost power in April 2026 to Peter Magyar, after 16 years as head of the Hungarian government. Vucic himself said in the video that he had lost elections, and the official results of the snap parliamentary elections of October 25 are published by the Republic Electoral Commission.
What is not known about the meeting
None of the sources we read says that any agreements were signed, or what the two politicians discussed after the recording. Publicly, only the content of the video is known: an exchange of thanks and messages about friendship. The media published the story during Saturday, and we could not verify the exact publication time of individual articles.
