  1. > Orbán spoke of Slovakia as a breakaway territory, diplomacy summons ambassador

    > The Foreign Ministry has summoned the Hungarian ambassador over Viktor Orbán’s remarks at a festival of Hungarians in Romania. Orbán referred to Slovakia as a breakaway territory.

    > “Czechoslovakia (and later Slovakia) or Hungary are the same successor states of Austria-Hungary. So nothing could have been torn away from today’s Hungary. The propagation of such narratives by anyone goes senselessly against good neighbourly relations and stability in our area,” the ministry responded.

    > “Questioning the territorial integrity or sovereignty of Slovakia in any direct or indirect way is absolutely unacceptable to us. We therefore reiterate that we are interested in normal and peaceful relations with Hungary, but with respect and understanding of each other’s sensitivities. The current statements by the Hungarian Prime Minister do not go in this direction. Therefore, the Ministry summoned the Ambassador in connection with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s remarks about ‘working for the homeland in the breakaway territories’ and was asked to explain the Hungarian Prime Minister’s words.”

    > The Hungarian ambassador has also been summoned by Romania, with Orbán saying, among other things, that “we have never claimed that Sikulland and Transylvania are Romanian territorial units”.

  2. Would make sense to officially pronounce V4 dead with Orbanlandia making these sort of statements.

  3. Seems like Trianon was not enough punishment for them. Noted.

  4. Can we just throw Hungary out of the EU at this point? He’s just a useful idiot for the Kremlin at this point.
