Politico: EU intends to boycott Orban

The head of European diplomacy Borrell intends to convene a special summit of EU ministers right around the time of the informal meeting of foreign ministers in Budapest at the end of August. And all for the sake of preventing them from traveling to Hungary to see Viktor Orban. As Politico writes, such a boycott is an unprecedented move. The Hungarian prime minister has infuriated the European Union and NATO by visiting Moscow and Beijing as part of his peace initiative to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. Chinese journalists say the reaction shows the West's unwillingness to accept peace talks.
