“The acceleration of Serbia’s European integration is in the interests of Hungary and Europe, and accordingly Hungary will continue to provide Serbia with all possible support”, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto said on Tuesday, Kormany.hu reports.
Szijjarto held talks with Serbia’s Minister of European Integration Jadranka Joksimović, following which at their joint press conference, he stressed: “One of the key elements of the debate on the future of the European Union is enlargement, but unfortunately there is significant resistance towards enlargement within the EU today, which is a problem, because this year, for the first time in the EU’s history, the number of member states will be reduced”.
“Hungary’s goal is for the EU to gain strength, and this requires new member states, countries that reinforce the EU’s security and economy, and the countries of the Western Balkans are such countries”, he explained, according to the government's website.
