Hungary will vote against Kosovo’s EU membership bid, further fuelling tensions

by Cristian Florescu

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.
