Hungary will amend legislation in March to address Brussels' concerns about government-linked politicians holding seats on university boards in order to restore European Union funding for students and teachers, a Hungarian minister said on Thursday.

Minister Tibor Navracsics, in charge of Hungary's European Union funding, did not spell out what the amendment would be, but told Hungarian state news agency MTI, that the EU's Erasmus scholarship scheme, where students can study in different countries, and Horizon Europe research programmes were "not under threat".
