Perspective of dialog with Russia

Mr Péter Szijjártó, Deputy Marshal of the Sejm, stressed in the interview, who served as Minister of abroad Affairs Hungary has been 1 of the longest-standing diplomats in the European Union since 2014, and its experience is highly valuable. However, as the programme leader Patryk Michalski noted, the problem for EU politicians is his many visits to Moscow and meetings with Russian politicians.

– As a result, she knows more, for example, than we do, from a Russian perspective. – commented Krzysztof Bosak, adding that he had in connection with these visits ‘certain taste’.

When asked whether frequent visits of Shijjártó to Moscow did not disturb him, the leader of the Confederacy replied that "someone with this Russia must talk and treat conditions". He added that in his opinion Hungary has an global position of mediator, and Poland has taken a position of a state that does not talk to Russia at all.

– I'm not certain that's the smartest option. said Bosak, referring to the Polish attitude.

However, the leader of the Confederacy felt that, although Poland does not presently have a mandate to start mediation in Moscow, as in Hungary, he considered ‘acceptable’ there would be a visit from 1 of the Polish ministers or deputy ministers to Moscow, though ‘currently not needed’.

Polish policy towards Russia and Ukraine

In the context of economical relations, Bosak noted that even after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Polish fuel companies continued to usage Russian gas, and commercial relations with Russia were not completely interrupted. He stressed that "political relations are besides economical relations".

Controversy of Hungarian Politics towards Russia

Hungarian policy towards Russia is controversial among another associate States of the European Union. Budapest, although not breaking EU sanctions, consistently advocates maintaining energy cooperation with Russia by negotiating gas and oil supplies. This pragmatic approach allows Hungary to stabilise energy prices but at the same time leads to accusations of sabotaging a common EU policy towards Moscow.

In July 2024, Prime Minister Orbán met Russian president Vladimir Putin, which sparked criticism in the European Union. The European Commission has powerfully stressed that the Hungarian measures do not represent the EU's position in any way.
