Why were EU leaders not invited to the 20 August celebrations? – Gergely Gulyás was asked. “We are a sovereign country, we invite whoever we want”, he said, noting that former Austrian and Czech leaders were also present. The state holiday was mainly attended by leaders of Central Asian countries, rtl.hu reports.
