According to the statement, Kövér said that the European Union “has been the best structure in history in terms of promoting national interests”, adding that the EU has “pledged that at the table where decisions concerning us are made
we will have an equal say”.
“We want to build a Europe like that together with Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians and Poles, as well as with the other countries in central Europe,” the statement quoted Kover as saying.
Kövér‘s talks focused on bilateral ties, a series of conferences concerning the future of Europe, migration and border control, defence and security challenges, as well as efforts against the coronavirus pandemic. At the talks, Kövér announced that
