          In theory yes, but:

          • Greece is not ready to handle HSR.
          • Bulgarian and Romanian accession to Schengen is still contentious, so what’s the point of HSR if you have to stop for passport checks?
          • Nobody is going to give Orban’s Hungary big infrastructure bucks.

          EU politics is so much fun! :)
