PM of Hungary: No automatic extension of sanctions against Russia

He said this during the meeting with the Hungarian ambassadors on Monday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"The serious debate on the implementation of the Minsk Agreements is expected to be held in the EU at the end of the first half-year period this year. In other words, there will be no automatic extension of sanctions against Russia. The Minsk Agreements should be analyzed in an impartial and calm way before we [the EU] make the decision," Orban said.

Hungarian Prime Minister has repeatedly expressed unwillingness to automatically extend sanctions against Russia this summer.
