The European Union would benefit from Serbia’s EU accession, but Brussels is hindering this process, while Ukraine, which “runs a corruption machine at the highest state level”, would only bring danger to the bloc, but they still want to admit the country as soon as possible, Péter Szijjártó, the foreign minister, said in Belgrade on Wednesday.
Following talks with his Serbian counterpart Marko Duric, Szijjártó called for Serbia to become a member of the EU as soon as possible, arguing that the bloc, including Hungary, would benefit from it, his ministry said in a statement.
“Here we have Serbia, which brings potential, growth and development, but Brussels doesn’t want to take it, while we also have Ukraine, which would only bring danger to the EU, and they want to push it in,” he said.
“I believe that it completely discredits the European enlargement policy that while here is Serbia, a country whose accession would clearly benefit the European Union with its economic growth and good performance, a significant number of member states are blocking progress in Serbia’s accession process,” he said.

We all know this, even those who refuse to admit it just to themselves.
Ukraine is a giant washing machine.
@michaelsteiner – have you been to Serbia, recently? I was in Belgrade, last week. It is GRIM, at the moment. Tensions in the air. Maybe the authorities should deploy the Army on protesters? Oh, wait. The riot police are already set up in (very nice) tents by the National Assembly, there are roadblocks and plenty of Army ploughing around, including around the old Army headquarters, due to be redeveloped by a certain Mr. Kushner (surprise!).
Fun fact – Ukraine and Serbia share the same rank in the corruption perceptions index!

I encourage you to take a look at Hungary – we hold the worst position in the European Union. Facts and data. I know. Terrible.
“I encourage you to take a look at Hungary – we hold the worst position in the European Union. Facts and data. I know. Terrible…”
And I encourage you, Dear Norbert, to go live in another Western country, like France or Germany, and see how you personally evaluate how well Hungary is doing.
These facts and data you so dearly believe in are skewed, and very unworthy of your trust.
Hungary has many positive things that France, Germany or The U.S, either no longer have or only have in now very small measure.
Want an example of one of these things you have better?
How many Hungarian women worry about their safety in public these days?
“Ukraine is a giant washing machine.”
How true, Dear Michael – a great laundering machine for all The Western Elite, which is yet another reason why they want to fight to the last Ukrainian man.
Look who is talking….it takes one to know one…LOL
Serbia is a minnow with a weak GDP per capita. Ukraine’s may be even weaker, but it’s a much larger country and therefore its economic imapact will be proportionally larger too. With the increase in prosperity in the existing EU ‘accession countries’, flows of migrant workers to the wealthier western member states has declined (except, it appears, from Hungary, from where they are increasing). Once peace and stability have been established, Ukraine could provide the EU with a valuable source of labour, avoiding the need to provide work permits to those from further afield while boosting Europe’s economic competitiveness as a whole. Hungary would also be a beneficiary of this due to its exceedingly tight labour market that serves to cap Hungary’s growth potential. Of course, a much better solution for Hungary would be attracting the country’s diaspora to return home but realistically, this isn’t going to happen for at least 5 years bearing in mind the country’s weak growth and low wages.
When a country of LEADERSHIP as is Hungary by and under – Victor Mihaly. Orban that as an individual is in FEAR of Truth – just not himself but speaking in TRUTH – to the citizens,the population of Hungary, that continues to age and decrease in population number, that under his Prime Ministership and Fidesz Government – in his political life of his (16) years time of the Fidesz Government, that have DELIVERED Hungary to a country being economically and financially SHATTERED, a government of mounting gargantuan DEBT that are a debt to individually ALL Hungarians – facts are TRUTH created by being of OWNERSHIP through and in the name of Victor Mihaly. Orban in his practice of LIES.
The dominance practice on-going of LIES personifies his Victor Mihaly. Orban – his personal FEAR of Truth.
Orban must FALL in the Spring of 2026 joined by the – his Fidesz Government in the HOPE of a FUTURE for Hungary.
“in his political life of his (16) years time of the Fidesz Government, that have DELIVERED Hungary to a country being economically and financially SHATTERED,
This is objectively incorrect, Sir.
Why?
Because Hungary was shattered LONG before Orban took charge, and what was left of it, after 1945, it was relentlessly pillaged by the Kadar Regime, for the benefit of The Western Elite.
Doubt me?
Go listen to the fabulous lectures, on this very subject, by Drabik János and Borvendég Zsuzsanna, at YouTube.
Learn the true history of your country – not what the Western Elites, speaking through the tongue of Magyar Peter or Dobrev, Klara want you to think.
