Hungary's foreign ministry has summoned Sweden's ambassador to Budapest over comments made by Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in connection with Prime Minister Viktor Orban's recent visit to Georgia, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Wednesday, adding that the government "firmly rejects" Kristersson's remarks.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said he was grateful to Georgians for not letting their country become "a second Ukraine". Orban also told a press conference in Tbilisi on Tuesday that no one dared question the legitimacy of the general election in Georgia as free and democratic.
The government has launched a series of events titled "1,100 years in Europe, 20 years in the European Union" with a budget of about 1,100 million forints (EUR 2.7m), celebrating the greatness of the Hungarian nation and the joy and pride of its existence as well as its EU membership, the deputy state secretary of the culture and innovation ministry said in Lenti, in western Hungary, on Saturday.
The primary goals of Hungary's foreign policy are to promote peace, protect national sovereignty and preserve the country's economic neutrality, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Budapest.
