On the initiative of Mayor István Tarlós, the mayors of the V4 capitals met in Budapest on Thursday, 10 January 2013. The main aim of their meeting was to renew the cooperation between the V4 capitals and also to find and discuss new opportunities and initiatives of cooperation.

The event was also attended by the Mayor of Warsaw Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz, who, together with her delegation, visited a number of major community transport development projects, the FUTÁR control centre and the Metro Line 4 project and its depot at Kelenföld.

Later the delegation visited the Kelenföld depot, as well. A second metro line is now being built in Warsaw, thus the visit had practical purposes, as well.
