Hungary rejects Ukraines Carpathian 8 initiative despite summit invitation
Hungary will not join Ukraine’s new Carpathian 8 regional cooperation initiative, Prime Minister Peter Magyar told parliament on Sept. 21, despite receiving an invitation. “We had a good reason not to go,” Magyar said, without specifying the rationale .
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hosted the inaugural summit in Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast over the weekend, attended by leaders from Poland, Romania, Serbia, Czechia, Austria and Slovakia. Hungary was represented only by the head of its embassy in Kyiv, Ambassador Antal Heizer, who did not participate in opening speeches or panel debates, according to a Kyiv Independent journalist at the event .
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Budapest’s rejection of the initiative and criticism of a memorandum between Ukrainian and Hungarian energy companies was “confrontational.” The memorandum, signed during the summit by Ukraine’s Naftogaz and Hungary’s MOL, proposed building oil storage facilities near the border. Magyar later rejected the project, stating MOL had negotiated without government approval and that “no Ukrainian oil storage facility will be built in Hungary as long as there is a Tisza government” .
Hungary’s Foreign Ministry confirmed its representative attended the forum but did not endorse the joint statement, which was signed by Ukraine, Austria, Romania, Poland, Serbia and Slovakia. Czechia also did not sign .
