Due to Hungary's resistance, the discussion on Ukraine's accession to the EU may be postponed to early spring. European diplomats stated this anonymously in a conversation with journalists from the Euroactiv publication, as reported by ZN.UA on December 11.
"Our feeling is that Orban always knew how far he was willing to go and when it would be time to come down from the tree", - said a source from Euractiv.
It is noted that unnamed European diplomats, in a conversation with journalists from the publication, reported that the chances of the EU reaching an agreement with Hungary on approving decisions related to Ukraine in December during the summit in Brussels are extremely slim.
According to the source, Budapest may present its final demands to the European Commission in the spring, in March. However, other EU diplomats fear that this time Orban will not negotiate and will continue to block aid to Ukraine and its accession to the European Union.
Earlier, it was reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a very emotional conversation with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
