“The European Union should be much quicker and more courageous with regard to its Western Balkan enlargement process; it should open all of the chapters of the Serbian and Montenegrin accession negotiations before the end of this year”, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto told MTI after talks with EU commissioners in Brussels, Kormany.hu reports.
Peter Szijjarto told EU commissioners in Brussels that the Hungarian government is extremely dissatisfied with the fact that according to the European Commission the accession of Serbia and Montenegro cannot occur prior to 2025. “There is no need to wait a further seven years”, he said.
Integration would assure the region’s stability, without which “a new wave of migration could very easily come knocking the EU’s southern border, which in this case means Hungary’s southern border”.
