Opposition party LMP on Monday called on Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó to set up minimum requirements regarding minority rights for Vojvodina Hungarians before supporting Serbia’s accession to the European Union, lawmaker Péter Ungár told a press conference on Monday.
Hungarian foreign policy has long seen the importance of the Western Balkans’ EU integration, Ungár said. The migration route arriving at Hungary’s southern borders through the country is one of those reasons, he said.
