The decision to move an informal EU Foreign Ministers' meeting from Budapest to Brussels is interpreted by the EU Commission as a clear message to Hungary.

The discussion about the relocation of the meeting to Brussels is decided at the upcoming EU Foreign Ministers' meeting led by Josep Borrell. The step takes place shortly before the upcoming coordination in the European Parliament and reflects the growing tensions within the EU.

Since the beginning of the month, Hungary has held the EU Presidency, which has led to criticism of various European party families. While Hungary is preparing meetings, the EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen questions the legitimacy of this role.

The confrontation between Hungary and the EU Commission shows the growing discrepancy in the EU and raises questions about unity and solidarity within the federal government. The decision as to whether the informal Foreign Minister meeting will take place in Brussels will be expected in the coming days and could trigger further political tensions in the EU.
