Evidence

Quotes

"Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna (Eesti 200) sharply criticized Hungary's new immigration system, which grants Russian and Belarusian citizens access to the Schengen zone."

"Hungary's behavior contradicts the European Union's foreign and security policy and shows that Prime Minister Viktor Orban is playing for the opposing team, he said."

"The foreign minister said that Hungary is allowing unrestricted access to the Schengen area for Russian and Belarusian nationals, making it possible for people who may be acting on behalf of those states to enter the EU."
