Correct, but the problem is that Orbán does NOT have a mandate for anything of this kind. He takes advantage of a situation where EU leadership is going through a shuffle after the recent elections. EU has many different 'presidents', which add to the confusion. EU has a completely different foreign policy, and Orbán as usual is a rogue pretender.
