The European Union executive said on Monday reports that the Hungarian foreign minister had passed sensitive information about European Union negotiations to Russia were "greatly concerning".

On Saturday, the Washington Post newspaper quoted serving or former European security officials as saying Peter Szijjarto regularly called his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, during breaks in EU meetings to give "direct reports on what was discussed" and suggest possible courses of action.
