The honeymoon phase appears to be over, but common ground was found. Some expressed optimism about the EU achieving consensus without the contentious Hungarian leader. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk remarked on social media about the absence of Russians in discussions, highlighting Orbán’s association with Putin as a relief. Estonian Prime Minister Michal described the atmosphere as a honeymoon period without Orbán. He noted a positive energy, considering Orbán a symbol of enjoying EU benefits while opposing it. With this legacy absent, discussions now focus on Europe’s future. The outcome hinges on leaders overcoming differences on issues like Ukraine’s membership and EU finances. As an informal gathering, the two-day talks in Cyprus were not expected to yield major decisions.
