BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany has made it clear to Hungary that there is no grey area when it comes to the ratification of Sweden and Finland’s accession to NATO, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said in Berlin on Thursday.

“With regard to the question about Hungary: I would like to underline this clearly … there is no grey area,” Baerbock told a joint news conference with her Swedish counterpart, Tobias Billstrom.

Hungary’s parliament will discuss the ratification during its autumn session after a series of EU-related bills have been passed, Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s chief of staff said on Wednesday.
