Budapest, July 22 (MTI) – The Visegrad Group will have to expand to include other countries in the region as well as countries from northern Europe if it is to gain real influence within the European Union, a former Hungarian foreign minister said on Friday.

Géza Jeszenszky, who was foreign minister in the government of József Antal between 1990 and 1994, told public television news channel M1 that the grouping of the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Slovakia could be enhanced by countries such as Croatia, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, as well as northern European nations which are “struggling with similar problems”. In this way, the Visegrad Group would become a force to be reckoned with, he said, commenting on the recent V4 summit in Warsaw.

At the same time, he gave warning that some countries could create a new kind of eastern bloc within the EU.

    This former foreign minister Géza Jeszenszky i have a ton of respect for. However, i don’t fully agree with the countries he’s chosen by looking at the stress test of europe over the 2015 to 2016 period and seeing who put up the most B.S. and unnecessary and obscuring fights. Croatia for border control, and possibly Romania for their treatment of enthic Hungarians are not two countries i would allow into the brotherhood which is what it is. Slovenia, yes, Bulgaria Yes, Macedonia, Serbia for sure, Bosnia, Montenegro, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Albania, possibly Kosovo, Montenegro, and maybe Greece if they get their act together, waiting…..
