However, Orban holds the Council of the European Union presidency.
So Stoltenberg can suck eggs, IMO.
A true diplomat talks to all parties, including Russia - who happen to have strong trade relations with the ex-Soviet Hungarians. The idea that somehow some politician can tell Orban what to do, is simply ridiculous. (looks askance at Bearbock, who is demanding 'answers' in a private meeting with Orban to discuss this outrage - and of course Hungary refused to meet).

That is probably why Stoltenberg is reacting like he does, he (NATO) doesn't want these dreaded peace talks to look like it is official EU sanctioned.
