Hungary and Ukraine resolved a dispute over Budapest's refusal to join the 'Carpathian Eight'.
A scandal between Ukraine and Hungary over Budapest's decision not to join the new international format C8 was settled. At the same time, the Hungarian side continues to oppose the creation of joint strategic facilities for storing fuel and petroleum products.
This was stated by Hungary's foreign minister, Anníta Orbán, reported by Telex.
According to her, during the week of the United Nations General Assembly in New York she regularly met with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha. The parties, as Orbán claims, during several behind‑the‑scenes meetings were able to resolve all contentious issues.
Orbán also noted that she communicates daily with Ukraine's deputy prime minister for European and Euro-Atlantic integration, Vsevolod Chenotov. According to her, he is coordinating the preparation of a bill that should contain mechanisms to regulate the rights of the Hungarian national minority.
The document in question was agreed by Kyiv and Budapest during consultations in June. The Hungarian minister expects positive changes in the issue of protecting the rights of the Hungarian minority as early as October, when the bill is planned to be submitted to the Verkhovna Rada.
"We gladly participate in any regional and bilateral cooperation that serves Hungary's interests," Orbán said.
She also suggested that in the future Hungary might join the Carpathian Eight format. At the same time, according to her, this should be preceded by dialogue and appropriate preparation.
Separately, Orbán spoke about the possible construction of joint strategic capacities for storing fuel and petroleum products for Ukraine. She stated that under the current Hungarian government such a project will not be implemented.
