THE Hungarian government refused to meet a delegation of United States senators to the country on Sunday as they tried to press the nationalist administration into approving Sweden’s application to join Nato.
Hungary is the only one of Nato’s 31 existing members not to have ratified Sweden’s bid.
The Hungarian government has delayed the application for more than 18 months — admitting a new country to the military alliance requires unanimous approval.
