Report: EU to Snub Hungary's Foreign Affairs Summit

The Facts

• EU representatives will boycott a foreign affairs summit scheduled for Hungary next month — instead organizing their own version of the event — according to diplomatic sources who spoke to Politico.

• Hungary, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency, plans to host the foreign affairs summit in Budapest on 28-29 August. However, one diplomat said they will snub the event to "send a clear signal that Hungary does not speak for the EU."

• It comes after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán made trips to Ukraine, Russia and China in an effort to find peace in Ukraine, sparking criticism from a number of European officials.
