Hungary blocks start of negotiations with Ukraine on EU accession - Sikorski

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that Hungary is blocking the start of negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the EU.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to Onet.
"As the presidency, we feel a special responsibility for this (the start of negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the EU - Ed.) We, of course, would like to open one, possibly two negotiation clusters, but unfortunately, the decision is being blocked by our old friend and once ally, Hungary," he said.
Sikorski said that there was a lively discussion at the Council meeting that the decision to start negotiations should depend "not on bilateral issues, but on the fulfillment of criteria."
"I have to ritually appeal to the Polish opposition, which maintains close ideological contacts with the government and the party of Viktor Orban, and ask them to do something good for Poland and Europe, namely to convince their ideological brothers to unblock these issues," the Polish Foreign Minister emphasized.
