EU could lose Western Balkans, says Hungarian foreign minister
Change language:
Unless the European Union makes timely steps in terms of its enlargement, it could lose the Western Balkans, similarly to the United Kingdom, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on the sidelines of a meeting of EU affairs ministers in Luxembourg on Tuesday.
Enlargement of the EU is “one of the most important policies” of the community, he said.
The community will pursue “policies running contrary to its own interests” if it fails to accelerate accession talks with Serbia and Montenegro, and delays the start of talks with North Macedonia and Albania, he said.
Szijjártó said
there was a “competition” under way to integrate the Balkans and exert influence on the region.
He said that though the EU has the highest chances to win, as countries in the region have “all chosen the European path”, the region’s “transatlantic direction must not be taken for granted”.
The EU needs the Western Balkans more than the Western Balkans countries need the EU, Szijjártó warned, adding that “losing that region could be a realistic scenario for the EU in case of a long impasse”.
That is good news. The EU does not need to grow. It needs to be smashed into a million pieces. The EU is another Tyranical entity just like the former Soviet Union.
So, more begging illiberal autocrats biting the hand that feeds them? No, thank you. For that job, in the EU, we already have the 5XL king of Orbánistan and the clerical Torquemada of Poland, it is more than enough.
