This was the first time they met and discussed a number of issues. On Paks expansion, PM Orb\u00e1n said that is not an Austrian-Hungarian issue but a European one to be settled by European legal forums and Hungary will make every possible effort to ensure that the difference in opinions about nuclear energy does not harm bilateral relations. Sebastian Kurz voiced the Austrian government\u2019s protest against the involvement of state aid in the project, which he said should be investigated. If regulations are broken, Austria will exercise its options for legal action. Last March European Commission\u00a0granted\u00a0its approval to the Hungarian state\u2019s aid which allows to expand Paks power plant, however Austria\u00a0decided to launch\u00a0a lawsuit against this decision. One of the main topics to discuss was that Austria has recently\u00a0announced to plan\u00a0to cut family benefits\u00a0for resident\u2019s children living in other countries. This would affect about forty thousand Hungarian children as well, as approx. 72,000 hungarians work in Austria. Seemingly, no agreement or promise has been made as PM Orb\u00e1n said at press conference that\u00a0he had asked Kurz to ensure that Hungarians working in Austria receive fair treatment as regards eligibility for family subsidies and called the European Commission to supervise the issue citing that the EC is the guardian of treaties and if it learns of developments that go against the European Treaty, it is obliged to take action. With the victory of right-wing parties in Austria in October many expected that the two governments would be on the same page regarding the much debated issue of migration. Orb\u00e1n highlighted again that the future of Europe and the Christian culture should be protected. Kurz agreed\u00a0that quotas are ineffective, EU\u2019s migrant redistribution scheme had proven ineffective, illegal migration must be stopped and a new European asylum system is needed. Receiving countries should be the ones to decide whom they want to admit, he added.     PM Orb\u00e1n has then met Austrian Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache, head of radical Freedom Party of Austria (FP\u00d6). Speaking at a press conference held jointly with Strache, Orb\u00e1n\u00a0said that up until recently, Austria had an \u201canti Hungarian\u201d government that was hostile towards Hungary, but his has now changed\u00a0and he had met Strache because the two most important topics that affect Hungarians in terms of bilateral relations, security and infrastructure development, belong to the smaller coalition party. Strache\u00a0praised Orb\u00e1n\u2019s efforts in pushing for the protection of the EU\u2019s external borders and the sealing of the Western Balkan migration route. He said he and Orb\u00e1n had also discussed their countries\u2019 shared goals, infrastructure development, economic cooperation, digitalisation, innovation as well as transportation links between Austria and Hungary.  via hungarymatters.hu  image via Kosztics\u00e1k Szil\u00e1rd\/ MTI  Source:\u00a0hungarytoday.hu","og_url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/","og_site_name":"Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BocskaiRadio","article_published_time":"2018-02-04T04:00:26+00:00","author":"Csibi Lor\u00e1nd","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_image":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/D_KOS20180130046-e1517339570461-768x434.jpg","twitter_creator":"@BocskaiRadio","twitter_site":"@BocskaiRadio","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/"},"author":{"name":"Csibi Lor\u00e1nd","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/10edfc7ddc0e006131357c2bcb81b96b"},"headline":"PM ORB\u00c1N TO HOLD TALKS WITH CHANCELLOR KURZ IN VIENNA","datePublished":"2018-02-04T04:00:26+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/"},"wordCount":555,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/D_KOS20180130046-e1517339570461-768x434.jpg","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/","url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/","name":"PM ORB\u00c1N TO HOLD TALKS WITH CHANCELLOR KURZ IN VIENNA &#8211; Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/D_KOS20180130046-e1517339570461-768x434.jpg","datePublished":"2018-02-04T04:00:26+00:00","inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/en\/pm-orban-hold-talks-chancellor-kurz-vienna\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/D_KOS20180130046-e1517339570461-768x434.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/www.bocskairadio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/D_KOS20180130046-e1517339570461-768x434.jpg","width":768,"height":434,"caption":"PM Orb\u00e1n with Heinz-Christian Strache, Vice-Chancellor and head of the Freedom Party of Austria (FP\u00d6) at the Hungarian Embassy in Vienna.
