Hungary will not veto the 13th package of EU sanctions against Russia, though it considers it wrong, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto said.
“At the stage of preparation of the 13th package of sanction all elements contradicting Hungary’s economic interests were removed from it. This is why we believe that from this viewpoint vetoing it would make no sense. At the same time, I think that the European Union is taking a wrong decision,” he told Hungarian reporters at a meeting broadcast by M1 TV channel.
Moreover, most EU member states are already discussing the 14th package of sanctions, Szijjarto added. “Though it is complete nonsense everyone is confident that the 14th package of sanctions will be adopted,” he said.
