BRUSSELS - Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis lashed out at Hungary on Monday for blocking European Union decisions on foreign affairs, including military aid for Ukraine, and said the bloc had to find a way to circumvent Budapest's veto.
"Almost all of our discussions and needed solutions and decisions by EU are being blocked by just one country. So we have to start seeing this as a systematic approach towards any efforts by EU to have any meaningful role in foreign affairs."Hungary's foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, did not speak to reporters on his way into Monday's meeting.
"We looked into this and apparently about 41% of resolutions by EU on Ukraine have been blocked by Hungary," he said. Echoing Landbergis' criticism in softer tones, Estonian Foreign Margus Tsahkna said:"Every time we are coming here, we have to convince Hungary about not blocking very important initiatives."
