Diplomatic tensions between Croatia, Hungary erupt over debate on the European embargo on Russian oil. Croatia has asked the Hungarian ambassador to Zagreb to comment on recent statements by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, which, according to the Croatian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday, “unreasonably disrupt our good neighborly relations”.
In an interview with Hungarian state radio, Orban “Hungary is strongly opposed to a full embargo on oil imports from Russia,” he said, adding that it was much easier for other EU countries, which have “seas and ports and can import oil by tanker”.
“We would also have ports if they had not taken them from us”, Orban said in a statement that Croatia had commented on the port of Rijeka in the northern Adriatic, the main Hungarian port when Croatia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
“Croatia condemns the statement by the Hungarian Prime Minister and we also condemn any territorial claims against sovereign states,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.
