Hungarian PM Orban Against New EU Migration Pact Over Hosting...

By Gabriela Baczynska and John Chalmers BRUSSELS, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Friday rejected a new migration plan by the European Union's executive, saying it would force Hungary to welcome aslyum seekers, but he welcomed some other elements of the proposal. Speaking in a Reuters interview a day after discussing migration in Brussels with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Orban said the devil was in the detail of the proposal over how to handle arrivals in the bloc, an issue that has long divided the EU. "There are some goods news and there are some problems that are still not solved," he said, speaking in an elegant, art-deco hotel in Brussels, where the EU's executive arm on Wednesday presented what it dubbed a "balanced" blueprint on migration. "Some taboos have disappeared," Orban said, in welcoming the strengthened focus on sending back to their countries of origin those who do not qualify for asylum in the EU. But he said asylum applications should be managed in "hotspots" outside of EU borders, something seen as all-but-impossible to do for legal and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] practical reasons, and that those who come to Europe's borders would otherwise be detained. Rights groups have long raised the alarm about Hungary detaining, refusing basic supplies like food or pushing back people arriving from Serbia. They say it runs against the right to claim asylum enshrined under [http://www.ehow.com/search.html?s=international%20humanitarian international humanitarian] law. Budapest has lost a number of legal cases on migration at the EU's top court since Orban adopted his hardline policies following a 2015 rise in Mediterranean arrivals that caught the bloc by surprise, contributing to a rise in far-right sentiment. But Orban, his black face mask with a little Hungarian flag embroidered on it resting on a coffee table, was unapologetic, saying people can apply for asylum in Hungarian embassies abroad, or [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] face being locked up if they come to the border. "Nobody can step into the Hungarian territory without having a legally completed procedure and getting a clear permission to do so," he said. "Migration in Hungary is a national security issue." A former liberal and anti-communist crusader, who then studied in the West thanks to the financial support of an ally-turned-foe, Hungarian billionaire philantropist George Soros, Orban rejected the notion of a multi-cultural society. "In Hungary, we are very strict that we would not like to have a parallel society, or open society or a mixed-up culture," he said. "We don't think a mixture of Muslim and Christian society could be a peaceful one and could provide securtiy and good life for the people." "RATHER STUBBORN" Orban said migration - together with protecting what he sees as Europe's Christian cultural identity and its high living standards - was the top challenge today, just as overthrowing the Soviet-imposed communist regimes in eastern Europe was 30 years ago. He criticised the Commission's new migration plan for envisaging a possibility that Budapest's commitment to send people back from southern EU states of arrival like Italy or Greece could turn into an obligation to host them in Hungary. "That is a very problematic point. It's not good, it's rather bad," he said. "It's nothing else but just renamed relocation. And we always reject relocation." While Orban said it was too early to consider a Hungarian veto, he said it would take months before all EU states even clarify their exact positions on the proposal, which Brussels hopes would resolve bitter internal EU feuds over immigration. He left no doubt, however, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] that Budapest would not agree to anything that could lead to Hungary being under obligation to take in people coming from the Middle East or Africa. "This point is not acceptable for the Hungarian people," he said. "That is why on certain points we are rather stubborn." (Writing by Gabriela Baczynska; Editing by Angus MacSwan)

Serbia apos;s Vucic Plays Down Hopes For Quick Political Deal With Kosovo

2020-10-20T23:57:55Z

By Ivana Sekularac BELGRADE, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic played down hopes on Tuesday that a U.S.-mediated agreement on economic cooperation with Kosovo could lead soon to a political deal with the former province. Political normalisation with Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008 nearly a decade after it was protected by NATO in a bombing campaign, is a pre-condition for Serbia's entry into the EU. Serbia and Kosovo agreed to take steps towards economic cooperation, including working on joint infrastructure projects, in agreements signed at the White House this month, which U.S. President Donald Trump called a "breakthrough". In his first interview with a Western news organisation since his trip to Washington, Vucic described the agreements as a big step in the right direction, but a long way from political normalisation. "I think such agreements are very important in order to preserve peace and that once and for all we resolve our problems to have clear future for our children," Vucic told Reuters. "I am not saying that we are close to a political solution," Vucic said, though he described economic cooperation as "key" for any future political deals. On Tuesday, a U.S. delegation headed by Trump's special envoy for talks between Serbia and Kosovo, Richard Grenell, arrived in Serbia to discuss possibility of financing projects. The delegation visited Kosovo on Monday. 'ARGUMENTS WITH EVERYONE EQUALLY' Vucic, a former ultra-nationalist who pivoted towards a pro-European stance in 2008, is determined to bring his country into the EU, which requires some form of accommodation with Kosovo. Serbia and its ally Russia reject Kosovo's declaration of independence. EU-mediated normalisation negotiations broke down in 2018 but resumed in July after Kosovo lifted import tariffs on Serbian goods. In his interview, Vucic described a future for his country that would involve balancing ties with East and West, even if this meant occasionally angering both sides. "If you live in a small country which is geographically at the crossroads, then your policy should be maintain peace and stability, either by not having arguments with anyone, which is impossible, or having arguments with everyone equally," he said. "Serbia is on its European path, but Serbia has to live, and has friends in the U.S. but it also has friends and it is not ashamed of them in Moscow and in Beijing." Serbia accepted highly publicised offers of aid from China in fighting the coronavirus this year, annoying some European countries who saw the gesture as politicised. More recently, Vucic risked friction with the Kremlin by steering clear of joint military exercises in Belarus, refusing to be drawn into a show of support for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] embattled leader Alexander Lukashenko, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a Russian ally. "Sometimes we have to protect our military neutrality by being all alone," Vucic said. Vucic said he hoped Trump would visit Serbia. His delegation was warmly met in the United States, long the main supporter of Kosovo's independence, and the trip irked Moscow. Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman compared Vucic's White House visit to an explicit film scene, prompting Vucic to accuse Moscow of [http://www.answers.com/topic/stooping stooping] to "primitivism and vulgarity". In Washington, both Kosovo and Serbia also agreed to move their embassies in Israel to Jerusalem, a Trump administration priority. Vucic said Serbia's chamber of commerce would open in Jerusalem first, with the embassy move to follow. (Reporting by Ivana Sekularac Editing by Peter Graff)
