Zoltán Kovács spoke to public Kossuth Radio about Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s meeting this past week in Berlin.

Hungary’s border fence -- by protecting the country’s people -- also protects Europe. This creates the conditions for Hungary to fulfil its commitments to border protection while also adhering to European law, Kovács said.

Asked about the potential establishment of a central European NATO command headquarters with German help, Kovács said Europe should set up effective military formations based on cooperation with a view to increasing its defence capabilities.

A central European NATO command headquarters would involve Hungarian, Slovak, Croatian and Slovenian units, he said, adding that “it would seem logical under such a framework” to join the German command HQ.
