The leadership of the European Union hopes to find a way to negotiate with the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, to prevent a blockage of the initiation of talks between Ukraine and the EU regarding accession. Reports TCN. This was reported by Kontrakty.UA.
About this, stated the chief diplomat of the EU, Kaja Kallas, according to "Yevropeiska Pravda".
"We have 27 member states in the EU… Every decision is always complex. So I have no illusions that it will be easier moving forward. However, we have always managed to reach some kind of decision in the end," Kallas emphasized.
It should be noted that journalists asked the politician whether Viktor Orban's stance on Ukraine would pose an obstacle to the actual launch of negotiations, given his statements that Ukraine's accession would be an "economic threat" to the EU.
Recall that Hungary did not veto the extension of sanctions against the Russian Federation. Media reports indicate that Budapest demanded the EU to pressure Ukraine to maintain the transit of Russian oil and engage in dialogue about gas transit in exchange for its agreement to support the extension of economic sanctions against the Russian Federation.
