I see Jeremy Hunt is following in his predecessor’s footsteps, by causing outrage in the countries he visits whilst trying to do a Brexit deal.
Quote:
This is my first visit to Slovenia as foreign secretary. Not the first visit in my life but my first visit in a professional capacity.
I'm really happy to be here as a fellow European country, the UK is very proud of the transformation there has been in Europe over the past 30 years.
It's a really remarkable transformation from a former Soviet vassal state to a modern European democracy, a member of the EU, a member of NATO.
A flourishing economy. Growing its tourism, year in and year out. This is really an example of Europe at it's best.

Milan Brglez,former president of the Slovenian parliament: “The British foreign minister comes to Slovenia asking us for a favour(to discuss with the foreign minister how to avoid a no-deal Brexit)while arrogantly insulting us. We were never a 'vassal state of the Soviet Union'."

Slovenia came from Yugoslavia, which was never a part of the Warsaw Pact (it was, in fact, part of the "non-aligned Nations" grouping).
