Business Meetings

Customs for business meetings are similar to those in the west.
An informal meeting in a restaurant typifies the atmosphere and helps to thaw the ice. It is important to point out that in Hungary it is not the custom to raise beer mugs with guests as a toast.
A western business woman should not be surprised if a Hungarian colleague kisses her hand in greeting.
