According to the Foreign Minister, certain names are indeed being discussed among the candidates, but Schröder is not among them.
"Regarding the candidates. Yes, there are certain names. I will not name them because it is a diplomatic process. But it is definitely not Schröder. And I'm speaking ahead of time so that the Russians don't suggest Gérard Depardieu, Steven Seagal, or I don't know, maybe they'll drag Orbán in as a negotiator on their side,"
The Minister did not specify which exact negotiation format was being referred to.
