Borisz Bájity

He was second on the list "Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians – Dr Bálint Pásztor" in the Serbian parliamentary election of 25 October 2026, which won 34,755 votes (0.81%) with 8,135 of 8,392 polling stations counted; the latest CeSID and Ipsos projection gave it two seats.

Career

Bájity grew up in Bajmok and holds a master's degree in law from the University of Novi Sad. He worked at Vojvodina's provincial secretariat for education, regulations, administration and national minorities, overseeing the official use of languages and the recognition of foreign diplomas, until he was appointed first deputy secretary-general of the Assembly of Vojvodina in October 2017, a post he held for six years. A VMSZ member since 2011, he joined its presidency in 2023, became vice-president in 2024 and leads its Novi Sad branch. He has sat on the Hungarian National Council since 2022. Elected to parliament from third place on the VMSZ list in December 2023, he was deputy head of the VMSZ group, deputy chair of the human and minority rights committee and a substitute member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, sitting with the EPP group.

Positions

In June 2026, when amended judicial laws returned to parliament after an opinion of the Venice Commission, Bájity said the Commission had not questioned the direction of the reforms but proposed improvements, and that the VMSZ had supported Serbia's path to the European Union since its founding. In an October 2026 campaign interview he named better everyday living conditions as the main result of the term, citing higher support for families with children, state guarantees for young people's first homes and an alimony fund, and said a law on the financing of Vojvodina, unresolved for nearly twenty years, remained on the VMSZ agenda (Magyar Szó).
