Hungarian FM: Ukraine’s EU accession would bring war to bloc
Change language:
Ukraine is not fit for European Union membership until peace can be established in the country, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Wednesday, arguing that Ukraine’s EU accession “would bring the war to the bloc, which obviously nobody can want”.
Commenting on the European Commission’s new enlargement package, Szijjártó said the analysis was correct in concluding that Ukraine had not met the conditions for EU candidate status, pointing out its violations of national minority rights.
“Since even the European Commission says that Ukraine has failed to meet the conditions for candidate status, we don’t consider any additional steps to be timely when it comes to accession talks with Ukraine,” the minister said before leaving for Guatemala, according to a ministry statement.
At the same time, the Hungarian government believes it is time for a debate on the EU’s future policy on Ukraine, he added.
With the ongoing war in Ukraine, it is clear that neither media freedom nor the freedom of speech apply in the country, and elections are not being held, either, Szijjártó said.
“It would obviously be absurd for European Union institutions or member states to take a stance on how the institutions of the rule of law function in Ukraine under these circumstances,” he added.
He said it was “abundantly clear” that Ukraine would not be fit for EU membership until there was peace in the country. “Ukraine would also bring the war with it into the European Union, which we obviously don’t want, can’t want,” he said.
Admitting Serbia into the EU would bring in a Russian Trojan Horse even bigger than Hungary. Serbia’s security service is working hand and glove together with the Russians. Thousands of Russian anti-war dissidents went to Serbia and they are currently being harassed by Serbian authorities and the Serbs are handing information about them directly to the Kremlin. The head of Serbian intelligence Aleksander Vulin was just now pressured to resign. According to the US state department: “He has used his public positions to support Russia, facilitating Russia’s malign activities that degrade the security and stability of the Western Balkans and providing Russia a platform to further its influence in the region.” The EU would be out of its’ mind to allow Serbia in at present but ask yourself why is Orban allying himself so closely with Serbia.
