Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán came to a friendly soccer match between the Hungarian and Greek national teams in Budapest wearing a scarf with a map of "Greater Hungary" with parts of neighboring states in it. In the borders of the map from 1920, Romania, Austria, Slovakia, Serbia, Ukraine and some parts of Croatia were shown as "parts" of Hungary.
Ukraine said on Tuesday that it would summon Hungary’s ambassador to Kyiv over the “Greater Hungary” scarf worn by the Hungarian Prime Minister, which includes parts of present-day Ukraine.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Orbán’s neckwear was a “promotion of revisionism ideas, that does not contribute to the development of Ukrainian-Hungarian relations and does not comply with the principles of European policy.”
Ukraine is waiting for an official apology from the Hungarian side, Kuleba added. Ukrainian-Hungarian relations have already been strained this year, with Orbán maintaining some ties to Russia amid its brutal war on Ukraine. Greater Hungary collapsed in the aftermath of defeat in World War I.
Orbán posted the video of him meeting the Hungarian football player Balázs Dzudzsák on Instagram where the scarf with the map being clearly visible.
The Romanian foreign ministry also sent his “firm disapproval” of Orbán’s gesture to the Hungarian ambassador in Bucharest on Monday.
