Accordingly, Mr. Orbán said, at the summit a compromise has been reached, whereby the EU must continue to represent the position it has hitherto adopted, and its current standpoint on the solution to the Middle East crisis must be strengthened.
The Prime Minister stressed, however, that recently publicised speculation on this matter has been inaccurate.
