Orban: If Brussels, Ohrid agreements Enter Framework of Negotiations, Serbia Can Account in Hungary

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said that if the European Union includes agreements reached between Kosovo and Serbia in the framework of the talks, and if Serbia rejects, Budapest will then be on Belgrade's side.

The “is a very complicated issue and Serbia can always count on Hungary”, he has said of Tanjug, speaking of the Western Balkans summit held next week.

Orban has said the current situation in Kosovo is a complex issue, a situation which he would not judge.

What I've observed in recent years is that Serbs experience constant provocations. It is provocation and you may react, or not be attentive to them, but whatever your action is, remember that the starting point is provocation. We have minorities in many countries and we know how the majority can provoke”, he has said, adding that he supports the Serb community in Kosovo.

Second, he has said he thinks Serbian diplomacy insists on international justice, on which side he believes Belgrade is.

This issue cannot be managed without accepting international law. You can't ignore international justice. So you should insist on it. In addition, remember that there are some EU countries that have not accepted Kosovo's status. So there's an open question we have to negotiate about it”, Orban said.

As for the possibilities of an agreement, Orban has said that he is not the best “prophet” enough to answer that question, but that everything must be done to find a solution.
