Ukraine's EU membership is a bad decision and Hungary does not want to be part of this bad decision, Viktor Orbán said in a video posted on his social media page on Thursday.
In a message recorded during the break of the EU summit in Brussels, Orbán said Hungary's position is clear: Ukraine is not ready for the European Union to start negotiations with it on EU membership.
It is a completely pointless, irrational and inappropriate decision to open negotiations with Ukraine under these circumstances, and Hungary is not changing its position, the Prime Minister stressed.
In contrast, 26 other countries insisted on taking that decision, he said. Therefore, Hungary decided that if 26 other countries decided so, they should go their own way, he announced. Hungary does not want to share this bad decision, and therefore Hungary abstained from the decision today, he informed.
The negotiations will continue with the amendment of the budget, Mr Orbán added.
