Orbán holds talks with Ukrainian president
The two sides agreed that the EU could best help Ukraine in the current situation by granting it a visa waiver, Bertalan Havasi told MTI.
Orbán reassured his partner that he will continue to strongly advocate in all European forums that the visa requirement for Ukrainian citizens should be lifted.
The two sides expressed hope that a concrete action plan on boosting bilateral economic relations could be signed during Poroshenko’s visit to Hungary in November.
Orbán was accompanied by cabinet office chief Antal Rogán.
Prior to the meeting with the Ukrainian president, Orbán held talks with EPP President Joseph Daul.
