Background: Previously, it was reported that the leaders of the European Union at the summit in Brussels approved the recommendation of the European Commission to open accession talks with Ukraine and Moldova.
Although Hungary was threatening to block the decision for a long time, European leaders were able to overcome its veto by persuading Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to leave the room and abstain from the vote.
