Details: Costa stated that he had arrived in Budapest to meet with Orbán and “prepare for the special European Council on 6 March”.
“In these challenging times, preserving European unity has never been more important,” he added.
Orbán, in turn, briefly described his meeting with the European Council president by quoting Bob Dylan: “The times, they are a-changin’.”
Background:
- The extraordinary EU summit on 6 March, convened by Costa, will focus on European defence and Ukraine.
- The summit comes amid efforts by Donald Trump’s administration to “end the war” in Ukraine, including negotiations with Russian officials.
- Meanwhile, the leaders of the United Kingdom and France are seeking US support for the potential deployment of a European military contingent in Ukraine
