Prime Minister Viktor Orban proposed on Wednesday a “strategic agreement” with Kiev to replace EU membership. “Ukraine is a heroic country that we need to support, it is beyond doubt. However, Hungary does not agree to the country's membership in the EU; this situation may change in a hundred years, but at the moment we will stick to our position” – noted the Hungarian prime minister.
Opposition of Hungary
The Hungarian government is opposed to the accession of Ukraine to the Union and from February blocks the opening of the so -called The first cluster in the negotiations of Kiev with Brussels. The dispute concerns the Ukrainian Language Act, which has been in force for over 10 years, which, according to Budapest, limits the right to the use of minority languages, including the Hungarian minority in the Ukrainian tract.
In 2023, the parliament in Kiev adopted a new law on national minorities, which took into account the requirements of the Council of Europe. However, the then deputy minister of foreign affairs of Hungary Tamas Menczer found the introduced changes as insufficient.
In addition, in the opinion of the Hungarian authorities, Ukraine's accession to the EU would have a negative impact on the economy and security of Hungary and the entire community.
