Croatian defence minister: Hungary wants territories from Croatia, supports Putin with Serbia

Hungary’s foreign ministry has summoned Croatia’s ambassador to Budapest over recent comments made by Ivan Anusic, Croatia’s defence minister.

Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in response to a question at a joint press conference with his Cuban counterpart on Friday that Hungary strives for the best possible relations with all of its neighbours, including Croatia.

“And this is why it’s unexpected that the Croatian defence minister appears to have chosen a new sports discipline, which is insulting Hungarians,” Szijjártó said, according to a ministry statement. “There was no antecedent to this, which was why we ignored the minister’s first remark, but I refused to ignore the second one.”

“I respectfully ask the Croatian government not to drag us into their domestic political debates with their president,” he added.

Note the complete irony that idiot Szijjarto was making his complaint while meeting with the foreign minister of fellow Russian ally Cuba.
