The head of the Hungarian government spoke about the results of his efforts on social networks.
He made it clear that the final document "was significantly revised at the suggestion of Hungary."

According to him, for the first time in a year and a half, there was an opportunity to adopt a final declaration approved by all member states.
"This is what happens when someone comes not only to threaten and sow fear, but also seeks to find a compromise," says Peter Magyar.
What is important to understand is that he recently spoke about his doubts, as well as the doubts of other countries, regarding the possibility of urgently opening the remaining clusters for Ukraine.
"There are those in the EU who want to open all clusters immediately; there are those who want to open only two clusters, and I remind you that we have just opened the first cluster and the ink is not dry yet," said Magyar.
