The minister said Macedonia and Bulgaria have been invited to an emergency V4 summit on migration scheduled for mid-February because the European Union’s southern borders require stronger protection.

Concerning his talks with Poland’s foreign minister, Szijjártó said he and Witold Waszczykowski agreed that global issues such as energy policy and the Syrian conflict can only be resolved through pragmatic cooperation with Russia.

As regards the Ukraine conflict, Szijjártó said all parties involved must adhere to the Minsk Agreement, adding, at the same time, that Europe must pursue dialogue with Russia, as failure to do so would lead to further losses in competitiveness on the EU’s part.
