PRAGUE (Reuters) - Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis on Monday congratulated Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban on a "convincing" election victory, saying on Twitter he was looking forward to further cooperation.

Orban won a third straight term in power in Sunday elections after his anti-immigration campaign message secured a strong majority for his party in parliament, granting him two-thirds of seats based on preliminary results.
