We alone have remained on path of peace in Europe

“Why Budapest of all places? Since yesterday, many have been asking the question and guessing why Hungary has been chosen as the venue of the meeting of the US and Russian presidents. The answer is simple: we alone have remained on the path of peace in Europe,” Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on his Facebook account on Saturday. 

The Prime Minister added: “We have never lectured anybody. Neither in government, nor in opposition. We have never closed down the channels of negotiations.” 

He added that it was difficult to convince anyone of anything without talking to them. 

“And what’s the most important: for years, we have consistently and steadfastly stood for the cause of peace. Cooperation instead of confrontation; mutual respect instead of stigmatisation. This is the path of peace,” the Prime Minister wrote. 

“Hungary is the country in Europe today where there is a serious chance that US-Russian talks might finally lead to peace. And where perhaps even European criteria might be taken into consideration. While Brussels has isolated itself, we continue to engage in talks,” Mr Orbán’s post reads.
