Hungary has reportedly vetoed a proposed €10 million EU military aid package for Armenia, insisting that Azerbaijan be included in discussions to ensure regional balance.
Hungary has blocked a €10 million military aid package for Armenia from the European Peace Facility, according to Western media reports citing diplomatic sources. The proposed funds were intended to establish a fully equipped field camp for a battalion-level unit in Armenia.
Budapest has reportedly conditioned the lifting of its veto on the inclusion of Azerbaijan in the discussions surrounding the aid. This move reflects Hungary’s emphasis on maintaining regional balance and highlights its close political and economic ties with Baku.
The European Peace Facility, an EU fund designed to bolster the security capabilities of partner countries, has previously supported initiatives in the South Caucasus. The latest proposal for Armenia was seen as part of ongoing EU efforts to stabilise the region following recent tensions and border clashes with Azerbaijan.
Hungary’s decision is expected to complicate the EU’s approach in the region, where diplomatic sensitivities and shifting alliances continue to influence security and development initiatives.
