Hungary has renewed its support for Serbia in its strategy to obstruct Kosovo’s EU membership bid, as well as with the UN and the Council of Europe.
It follows a temporary and fragile appeasement between Serbia and Kosovo, which the EU and US-brokered last week.
“The premature admission of Kosovo by various European entities may jeopardise the search for reconciliation”, says Péter Szijjártó, Hungary’s foreign minister.
“Therefore, if there is a vote on whether to accept Kosovo as a member of the Council of Europe, the government will vote no,” Szijjártó said at a meeting with Hungary’s foreign minister in Budapest.
