The 41-year-old, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's top diplomat for six years, vacationed in the Adriatic off the Croatian coast aboard the 21 million euro ($25 million) yacht, the Lady MRD, according to an investigation by website Atlatszo.hu. "This is my private life, family vacation is part of private life," he said in response to a question about his choice to holiday on Szijj's yacht at a road building ceremony where he was approached by several TV crews. "What little private life I have has nothing to do with my (official) decisions," he said. Szijjarto said he had respected all laws pertaining to him both in office and in his private life. The news website G7.hu said that vessels similar to the 41-metre (134 ft) Lady MRD usually rent for about 180,000 euros per week.
