To himCzech Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb’s trip on FridayAnna to Moscow.
Merz recalled how Russian airstrikes intensified after his last visit to the Kremlin in July 2024, shortly after Hungary took over the EU’s rotating presidency.
– The visit at that time was not only unsuccessful – said Merz at a press conference with Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob in Berlin.
“A few days after the visit, some of the most serious attacks by the Russian army took place, including attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilian targets in Ukraine,” he said.
– I hope that this reaction of Russia will not happen this time. But he is going without a European mandate and going without coordination with us – he added.
Golob said he would not be diplomatic.
– I am afraid that Viktor Orbán has not played for the European team for some time. We do not expect any benefit, any advantages from this visit – added Golob, noting that Orbán acts primarily in his own interest.
