Hungary’s territorial claims in Slovakia likely, says foreign minister

Foreign Minister Rastislav Káčer will not apologise for his words about Hungary’s possible territorial claims in Slovakia, though Hungary has accused him of spreading lies.

In an interview with the Markíza television channel on Tuesday, he was asked if there was a danger that Hungary would develop territorial claims on Slovakia in the near future.

The minister replied, “If Vladimir Putin were more successful and Russia was next to our eastern border, I think that we would be facing such claims today unfortunately.”
