Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic previously said that he immediately informed the Hungarian prime minister about the situation in the Velebit area, where two black backpacks containing about four kilograms of explosives were found on Sunday.

Shortly after Vucic spoke, Orban announced that he was aware of all the information and immediately convened a meeting of the National Security Council.

In a video that Orban posted on Facebook this morning, he says that he is heading to the border and will soon be streaming live from there.

The footage shows Orban getting into a helicopter along with Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto and flying to their destination together.

"Easter Monday, 06:00. We're going to the Hungarian-Serbian border. Yesterday they wanted to blow up the gas pipeline on the Serbian side. Let's check if everything is okay on the Hungarian side," Orban stated.
