Hungarian FM: EU wanting to give all its money to Ukraine ‘not right’
Hungarians clearly understand that with all the attention on Kiev, and the European Union “giving all its money to Ukraine”, it would be a tragedy for Europe if instability spread in the Balkans, compromising peace, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Thursday.
Hungary has provided HUF 300 million (EUR 800,000) support for the development of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s defence capability, the minister told public media in Sarajevo. The money will be re-channelled from resources originally allocated to financing NATO security forces in Afghanistan, he added.
Szijjártó said it was Europe’s vital interest that it should not be confronted by another security challenge on top of the war in Ukraine. In its current state, the continent would not be up to the task of handling two security challenges at once, he added.
He said the war in Ukraine made security in the Balkans all the more important, so the EU should take some serious steps to support stability and peace in the Balkans. “It is noticeable that they do not fully understand this in Europe, with all the attention on Kiev. Without peace and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there will be no peace and stability in the Balkans,” Szijjártó said.

Why is Hungary still in the EU. It is high time to leave and create its own economic zone.
Well, mariavonknownothing, if Hungary was not in the EU, as you would know if you actually lived here, we would not have had all of the infrastructure improvements over the last decades, along with all of the economic benefits that come with membership like our auto industry. You should really just worry about your issues on your side of the Atlantic and keep your old nose out of ours!
