FM Szijjártó: Moldova accession would increase EU competitiveness

Hungary is a firm and unconditional supporter of Moldova’s European Union accession, as the country’s membership would benefit the bloc and increase its competitiveness, the foreign minister said in Budapest on Thursday.

Speaking after a meeting with Moldovan Deputy Minister Vladimir Bolea, Péter Szijjártó said Hungary’s stance was clear: every potential candidate must be assessed individually.

“We must not link the integration process of various countries to each other and we must not allow worse-performing countries to take others integration hostage,” Szijjártó said.

“Speeding up Moldova’s EU membership would help the EU to improve its competitiveness again.”

Hungary has always promoted the enlargement of the EU to the south-east, he said.

“We are, as always, at the disposal of the Moldovan government, and will do everything in our power to speed up the integration process,” Szijjártó said.

  1. Unless the situation is resolved, where one (even insignificant) Member can veto the entire Union´s decisions, I do not believe any other Member in their right mind will sign up for any new Members.

    Our Politicians have shown them what it means to be vulnerable to blackmail!

  2. This Pinocchio is a joke, he would lobby for Mongolia and N.Korea in the EU, were he given the order to do so.
