Orban: Brexit brave decision but Hungary will not exit EU

Britain's decision to exit the European Union was a brave one but Hungary will not follow that path, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in an interview with Reuters on Friday. Orban said the EU only had itself to blame for the British referendum vote to leave the bloc because of the way it had treated the country. "Brexit is a brave decision of the British people about their own lives...we consider it as evidence of the greatness of the British," he said. "We can't afford to follow that track," the prime minister added. He said that the Hungarian economy has been too closely integrated into the EU to follow Britain out.
