Prime Minister Viktor Orban said more surprise diplomatic moves were likely following a controversial visit to Moscow as part of a self-described “peace mission” at the start of Hungary’s European Union presidency.

“I have more ‘peace mission’ moves in my pocket,” Orban said in a state radio interview on Friday. “We’re going to continue to have unexpected initiatives that will each take us one step closer to peace.”
