Sweden’s NATO bid not a priority for Hungary, says Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff

Sweden has not done enough to convince Hungarian authorities that it is a suitable candidate for NATO membership, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff said at a press conference Thursday.

Gergely Gulyas urged the country to work on bilateral relations when it comes to the Nordic country’s NATO bid to “strengthen trust” while at the same time noting that Sweden joining the alliance is not a priority for Hungary.

Gulyas described the relationship between the two countries as “one of allies legally right now” that cannot be considered friendly.
