Hungary FM: Pursuit of National Interests Is Compatible with Loyalty to EU, NATO

"The Hungarian example clearly proves that it is possible to successfully assert the national interest, while being a loyal member of the European Union and NATO, but one must not give up even the slightest portion of state sovereignty," Hungarian Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Peter Szijjarto said in the Republic of Srpska on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Hungarian companies have begun making preparations to contribute to the construction of wind farms, solar parks and a sewage treatment plant in the Republika Srpska. In addition, MOL and OTP, two Hungarian companies successful in the Western Balkan region, may also be interested in entering the market, he added. Finally, Peter Szijjarto welcomed the fact that patriotic politicians have recently become increasingly successful across the world.

We are now the third largest group in the European Parliament, and in the United States, a patriotic, pro-peace president has won. I believe that Europe, including Central Europe, could not have received better news,

he said. He described the West's attitude towards the Republika Srpska as unacceptable, saying that the people in Brussels who constantly call for the promotion of democracy are the biggest anti-democrats.

If a conservative, patriotic party or politician wins in a country or entity, they instantly talk about the death of democracy. If liberals win in the same country, then they say that democracy has never been in such a good shape,

he said.

I can understand that it is easier for the people in Brussels to have puppet governments running countries and entities, but thank God they don't decide from Brussels, they don't decide from Berlin, but the people here in the Republika Srpska decide, and the people in Hungary decide who should be at the helm,

Hungary' foreign minister said in conclusion.
