Hungary vetoed a firm V4 stance against Russia?
Change language:
The leaders of the Visegrád Group held talks as equals rather than exerted pressure on one another when they issued a statement of solidarity with the Czech Republic in its diplomatic conflict with Russia, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Wednesday in response to a question at a press conference on an unrelated matter.
The prime ministers of the Visegrád Group based on mutual respect and reciprocal benefits issued the statement at the initiative of Czech Premier Andrej Babis, he said. All signatories expressed solidarity “with their Czech friends” and the text reflected the positions of each prime minister, Szijjártó said.
Asked about press reports saying that
