BRUSSELS, 27 Nov. - (ANA) - Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Hungary's premier Viktor Orban have dug their heels in on blocking the EU's long-term budget and coronavirus recovery package over their opposition to linking EU funds to respect for the rule of law, at their face-to-face meeting in Budapest on Thursday (26 November).
In a joint declaration, the two PMs said linking EU funds to the rule of law should be decided by EU leaders, and should be confirmed via a treaty change.-(ANA) -
