Threatening to block further support for Ukraine in negotiations on its membership in the European Union, Hungary undermines the principle of EU unity. LRT with reference to Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda, reported by European Pravda

“Hungary is harming the principle of unity because if we do not get a positive answer, a positive conclusion, there will be more and more voices threatening and denying the principle of unity”, - said Nausėda.

He stressed that he believed Ukraine’s rapprochement with the EU was beneficial for Hungary.

“Hope, the opportunity to invite Ukraine and Moldova to start official negotiations on EU membership and to grant Georgia EU candidate status would not be missed. We will use all means to persuade Hungary to change its mind”, - added the President.
