After months of delay, Orbán officially backed Sweden’s candidacy in January, but it still needs to be validated by the Hungarian parliament.
The parliamentary vote should be a formality, as Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party holds a comfortable majority.
But Fidesz leaders on Monday demanded that Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson first visit Budapest before the parliamentary vote.
Kristersson has ruled out further negotiations with Budapest on Sweden’s bid, but has said he would be open to meeting Orbán after Hungary’s parliament ratifies the application.
“Such visits between EU partners are quite normal, but they should not be linked in this way,” the same German official said.
