Relations between Sweden and Hungary are at a low point, Prime Minister Viktor Orban's chief of staff said on Thursday, calling on Stockholm to take steps to boost confidence as it seeks Hungary's backing for NATO membership.

Orban's chief of staff, Gergely Gulyas, reiterated ruling party concerns over Sweden's NATO bid, which he said were also shared by Orban's government.
"Current Sweden-Hungary relations ... also because of this intervention on the side of the Commission are at a low point and steps to boost confidence are needed," Gulyas said in response to a question.
