Hungarys Prime Minister Viktor Orban has signed a decree allowing NATO troops to be deployed in western Hungary and weapons shipments to cross its territory to other NATO member states.
The change of government policy forced by the Ukraine crisis was announced on Monday in the official gazette despite a close relationship with Russia.
The document allows the NATO Response Force to be stationed west of the Danube River and Hungarian airspace to be used for transit.
But any personnel or gear headed to Ukraine can only transit through or over Hungary if it then heads to another NATO country and then crosses that countrys border into Ukraine.
