BERLIN, November 10. /TASS/. The European Union should appoint a special representative to help settle the conflict in Ukraine, as this is currently one of the most important issues facing European countries, Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said during a visit to Germany.

"We must focus our efforts on addressing real and very important problems, such as [the EU’s] competitiveness in the energy sector and, of course, the tragic war between Ukraine and Russia, which has been going on for more than four years. As for this war, it is extremely important for us to appoint someone to negotiate on behalf of the European Union," the Hungarian prime minister said.

Magyar stressed that, in his view, an EU representative must have "a seat at the negotiating table."

At the same time, the prime minister said that he currently sees divisions within the European Union and a lack of a single figure capable of conducting dialogue on foreign policy issues on behalf of all member states.
