Migrant crisis brings Hungary, Slovenia closer, says Hungarian House Speaker in Ljubjana

Ljubljana, February 18 (MTI) – Europe’s migrant crisis has brought Hungary and Slovenia closer together, reminding both countries of the need to focus on their shared interests, Hungarian Parliamentary Speaker László Kövér said on Thursday after talks with his Slovenian counterpart in Ljubljana.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Milan Brglez, Kövér said other European Union member states could look to Hungary and Slovenia’s relationship as an example of how two countries with opposing interests should manage their conflicts in a crisis situation.

Hungary and Slovenia did not enter into the kind of verbal disputes that Hungary was involved in with some of its other neighbours, Kövér said, adding that the two countries instead also set an example for the EU in terms of solidarity, which the bloc needs.
