Juncker to hold talks with Orbán at next EU summit
Change language:
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker will be prepared to discuss any issue with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán when they sit down for talks at the EU digital summit to be held in Tallinn at the end of the month, an EC spokesperson said on Friday.
The European Commission never engages in “verbal ping pong” with the government or head of government of any member state, Margaritis Schinas said in response to a journalist’s question at a regular EC press briefing in Brussels.
The spokesman said that in a recent letter sent to Orbán, Juncker had made clear the EC’s position on all the points of disagreement between Hungary and the EC.
Juncker’s letter came in response to the Hungarian prime minister’s request that the EU reimburse Hungary for half its spending on border protection.
