BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary will not relent on policy regarding the migration crisis and aims to use its planned referendum on EU migrant resettlement quotas to achieve a policy change in Brussels, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Wednesday.

Orban told a news conference there were no initiatives on the table that would call for Hungary leaving the EU, and that even the radical rightwing Jobbik party argued for Hungary's EU membership now.
