Hungary: Our opposition to sanctions on Patriarch Cyril ‘has been known for a long time’

“Hungary’s opposition to European sanctions against the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill,” has been known for a long time, “Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s spokesman told the state-run MTI news agency today.

European Union leaders agreed in principle earlier this week on a sixth package of sanctions against Russia. On Wednesday, three diplomats said that Hungary was delaying the finalization of the sanctions package, insisting on the removal of Patriarch Cyril from the list of persons subject to sanctions.

MTI quoted Bertalan Havasi as saying that Hungary would abide by the agreement reached at the EU summit on sanctions earlier this week and that no one objected to the Hungarian stance on Patriarch Cyril at the EU summit. .
