In his view, national parliaments should refer representatives to the European Parliament, such as the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, and should also have the right to stop EU legislative processes if they believe this would violate national competences.

Orban also expressed his conviction that Serbia should be accepted into the European Union, because its membership is more important for the European Union than for the Serbs.
