Two countries managing to stop 25 countries from doing something is absolutely insane, the EU needs to change how it operates, it should be a majority, not a unanimity. This Fico fella seems like a genuine piece of shit. I think Orban will eventually cave because he more leans towards spineless piece of shit when pressure is put on him. If Hungary and Slovakia want to be in Russia's empire then they're free to fuck off and leave the EU and stop leeching off it. There are plenty of other countries who want to join the EU.

The thing is, Europe is trying for yeqrs to do exactly that. The problem is that they need an unanimous vote to change to qualified majority (66% of the countries/MEPs covering 75% of the population of the EU), and there are some who simply don't want to lose their veto powers even if it means damning the EU to stand still.
