Chargé David J. Kostelancik was honored to welcome leaders of churches and religious communities in Hungary at an interfaith breakfast on September 25 in his home. The informal meeting provided a good opportunity to review religious freedom in the United States and Hungary, and to discuss areas for potential cooperation between the communities, as well as the means the U.S. Embassy could help advocate religious freedom and interfaith dialogue.
