In a post published on his social media page, the Hungarian Prime Minister sharply criticized Brussels for keeping Montenegro outside the EU even after 15 years of waiting, while at the same time forcing Ukraine’s fast-tracked accession at any cost.

Welcome to the Prime Minister of Montenegro in Budapest! Today we signed important economic agreements,

PM Orban posted on Facebook, adding:

Montenegro has been waiting for 15 years to become a member of the European Union. Through persistent and determined work, it has fulfilled every condition for accession.

According to Viktor Orban, the EU integration of the Western Balkans is no longer hampered by the performance of the countries concerned but by political decisions coming from Brussels.

Today, there is only one obstacle to Montenegro’s EU accession: Brussels itself. The Brussels bureaucrats have decided to push Ukraine into the Union through an accelerated process.

The PM sharply criticized the double standards shown by the EU:

There is not a single rational argument in favor of admitting Ukraine into the European Union while keeping Montenegro waiting for 15 years!

The Hungarian government has repeatedly supported the enlargement of the Western Balkans, emphasizing that accession negotiations should be judged based on performance rather than political considerations. Viktor Orban’s current message clearly shows that Hungary continues to support the EU integration of the countries of the region in staunch opposition to the double standards of Brussels.
