On Monday evening, Viktor Orban received North Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski in Budapest ahead of the Hungary–Macedonia government summit set to begin the following day. Hungary's prime minister shared a post on Facebook stating:
Welcome to Budapest, Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski! Tomorrow morning marks the start of the Hungary–Macedonia government summit. And what better place to prepare than at Kehli Mama’s? Time for some marrow bone!
The meeting is expected to cover economic relations between the two countries as well as North Macedonia’s European Union accession process. Earlier in the day, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto highlighted that Brussels and several EU member states have been acting hypocritically in the enlargement process, which could undermine the EU’s credibility in the Western Balkans—a topic our newspaper has also covered. In contrast, Hungary remains steadfast in its support for North Macedonia’s accession.
