Kaja Kallas, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has criticised Hungary for making bilateral issues an obstacle to Ukraines integration.
Source Kallas in an interview with the Ukrinform news agency, as reported by European Pravda Details Kallas believes it is a positive step that Ukraine is meeting with Hungary to resolve bilateral issues.
Quote On our side, we are also saying that these bilateral issues not only in Ukraine but in other countriescandidates cannot be an obstacle if the country has done their homework, which means all the reforms that the European Union requires.
Details Kallas stressed that the EU, for its part, is also working on decisionmaking mechanisms.
Because if the majority 26 states are in favour and one is against then this one country cannot hold hostage everybody else, she emphasised.
Background Earlier, the Ukrainian government criticised the EUs treatment of Ukraines progress as unfair.
Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn has complained that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is trying to change the Hungarian government.
On 9 May, Kallas said that the EU understands how to proceed if Hungarys veto on Ukraines accession cannot be overcome.
