Details: The official stated that the summit’s primary goal is to bring together all the speakers of parliaments and representatives of their countries.

Background: Pekarová Adamová also said she was disappointed with the stance of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and Hungarians towards Ukraine.
