Leaders of Poland, Hungary to discuss EU future, migration
WARSAW, Poland – Poland’s prime minister met Thursday with her Hungarian counterpart Viktor Orban for informal talks on the European Union’s security, economy and migrant policy.
Orban and Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo are among the most vocal critics of EU policies and opponents of its plan assigning migrants to member nations for relocation. They are also pushing for changes to give EU members more autonomy.
They met in Poland’s southern city of Krakow for talks ahead of the European Council summit Dec. 15 that is to debate the 28-nation bloc’s economy and future.
Szydlo greeted Orban at the National Museum, where they proceeded to see an exhibition on the “Golden Age of Hungarian Painting” from 1836-1936. They were then heading to dinner.
Orban’s two-day visit to Poland includes an address Friday to a conference of Central European historians and researchers co-hosted by the Jagiellonian University and Hungary’s Consulate.
The leader of Poland’s conservative ruling party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, was also expected to meet Orban during this trip, according to Polish media.
