"Regarding Hungary, of course, we have 27 different countries and 27 different internal democracies in the EU, so every decision we make is discussed, and it is always difficult. So I have no illusions that it will get easier. But in the end, we have always managed," Kallas said, commenting that ‘everybody heard Viktor Orban, the Hungarian Prime Minister, recently call Ukraine an economic threat to Europe if Ukraine is a member of the EU, how are you going to handle that, to get every European member to allow Ukraine to start negotiations."
