CEPOL mourns the loss of Hungarian Deputy State Secretary of EU and International Relations

CEPOL is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of dr. Krisztina Berta, Deputy State Secretary of EU and International Relations of Hungary, at the age of 62. CEPOL had a very close working relationship with the Deputy State Secretary who had a vital role in the smooth relocation of the Agency to Budapest. Dr. Berta was also National Anti-Trafficking Coordinator of the Hungarian Ministry of Interior, and had previously worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other bodies within the Hungarian public administration. Her funeral will be held next Tuesday, 1 December at 1 pm in the Fiumei Street Cemetery (Budapest), with military honours.

We extend our deepest condolences to her husband, her son and many friends and colleagues who had the fortune to meet her. Dr. Berta was not only known by her wide knowledge and strong enthusiasm and professionalism: she was above all a person with an extremely positive, kind and helpful character.
