BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has called for the resignation of European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova over what he described as her "derogatory public statements" about democracy in Hungary.

Orban, 57, has repeatedly clashed with other EU leaders over his moves to put the judiciary, media and academics under more state control.
