The European Commission has described as' very worrying 'the media reports of the leaking to Russia of information from Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijarto on the discussions held behind closed doors by the foreign ministers of the European Union countries, the European Union Executive's Foreign Spokesman, Anitta Hipper, said at a press conference.
According to Hipper, 'the relationship of trust between the Member States and between them and the institutions is essential for the functioning of the EU'. 'We expect the Hungarian Government to give explanations', added the spokesman.
Last Saturday, the American newspaper The Washington Post published that the Russian foreign intelligence service had proposed to stage an assassination attempt against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to strengthen his campaign for the decisive elections in April, in an operation known as' The Gamechanger '.
The information also indicates that Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijarto frequently calls his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, to report on his comments at EU Council meetings.
