Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto talked about migration and Ukraine on the second day of the NATO foreign ministers summit.
Ukraine has promised to respect and develop minority rights but its approval of the education law goes completely against this, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told journalists during a break in the two-day meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels. Ukraine has failed to fulfil its NATO obligations by seriously violating minority rights through the enactment of its new education law, he stressed.
Szijjarto said that Hungary will not sacrifice the interests of ethnic Hungarians in Transcarpathia "on the altar of any geopolitical game" and will not accept NATO's approval of the situation caused by Ukraine.
Regarding migration he said that during the recent 5th EU-Africa summit in Abidjan it became clear that international forecasts, including by NATO, were justified concerning the repeat of significant pressure of migration coming from the south. The terrorist attacks of the past two years have proven that migration poses the most serious security challenge to Europe, he added.
