Hungary will withdraw all of its 300 troops stationed in Iraq by the end of March 2005, the country's prime minister has said.
Ferenc Gyurcsany made the announcement at a military ceremony in the capital Budapest on Wednesday.
He said Hungary was obliged to keep its troops, who have a non-combat role, in Iraq until after elections in January.
There has been intense pressure from the public and opposition groups to pull them out.
