Szijjarto: Hungary Blocks Proposal to Hold EU Foreign Ministers Meeting in Ukraine
Hungary has blocked the idea proposed by EU Foreign Minister Josep Borrell to hold a meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the European Union in Ukraine instead of Budapest, as a response to Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s trip to Russia and China. This was stated by Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, reports RIA News.
“There were those who thought they would carry out a terrible revenge [Орбану за его поездку]and they proposed holding a council of foreign ministers in Ukraine. To convene a meeting of foreign ministers of EU countries outside the EU, unanimity is needed. I stated that… we do not agree to this,” the minister said.
