Orban: Hungary always for dialogue, against sanctions

BELGRADE- Hungarian PM Viktor Orban said on Friday in Belgrade his country always advocated dialogue during any conflict and that it had never supported sanctions against any country.

After meeting with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and the UAE presidential envoy, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Orban said he was in Serbia for a trilateral as well as a bilateral meeting.

"As far as I am concerned, the goal of the trilateral one was to enable us to present Serbia-Hungary economic cooperation to the UAE representative and to demonstrate that this is an exceptional opportunity because the economic and political cooperation between the two countries is successful and explicit. One of our countries is in the EU and the other is not, but that is not an obstacle to us, but an opportunity. If someone is looking for a place to invest in, they can hardly find a better opportunity than this," Orban said at a press conference with Vucic.

He said the trilateral meeting had showcased infrastructure, trade and various opportunities for cooperation.

Orban thanked Vucic for hosting the meeting as Hungary had not had an opportunity to attend such a meeting to date.

He said a bilateral meeting with Vucic would address "migration, issues related to Brussels, EU enlargement and certain deadlines."
