Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson is scheduled to visit Budapest on Feb 23, at the invitation of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian PM’s press chief said.
Hungary’s will be the “most pro-enlargement European Union presidency of all time”, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in Brussels on Tuesday, adding that the focus during accession talks would be on the “actual performance” of candidate countries rather than “bowing to political pressure”.
A pro-government pundit welcomes a military-industrial agreement under preparation between Sweden and Hungary, as more noteworthy than the planned parliamentary vote on Sweden’s NATO membership.
A pro-government commentator compares the US ambassador to erstwhile Soviet oppressors because of his presence at Mondays’ extraordinary session of Parliament which was convened at the initiative of the opposition to vote on Sweden’s accession to NATO but boycotted by the governing majority. A liberal author dismisses such comparison as absurd.
