Orbán: In 1999, Clinton asked Hungary to attack Serbia

At a Fidesz meeting in Szombathely, Viktor Orbán recounted a 1999 incident where Bill Clinton allegedly requested Hungary to attack Serbia during the Kosovo War. Orbán's government rejected this request, emphasizing the potential risks to ethnic Hungarians in Vojvodina. He claimed that diplomatic history would eventually reveal how they convinced the US not to pursue this request. Expert Áron Tábor challenged Orbán's narrative, stating there was no substantial political support for a ground operation and that NATO leaders denied planning such actions.
