About why the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, will try to gather the heads of the EU foreign policy departments at a time when Hungary plans to start an identical conference in Budapest, writes NBN, citing Politico .
According to Politico's sources, if an official meeting of the European Council on foreign affairs, organized by Borrell, takes place at the same time, the relevant functionaries will not be able to visit Budapest. Thus, a boycott of the meeting in Budapest by European foreign ministers should send “a clear signal that Hungary is not speaking on behalf of the European Union.”
It should be noted that the discussion of the possibility of holding The alternative meeting described above has begun in several EU countries – Germany and France, and if a “common language” is found, a proper plan will be presented on July 17.
We previously wrote about how Borrell and von der Leyen responded to Orban’s statement about a “peacekeeping mission” in Moscow.
