BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungary's ruling party submitted a resolution to parliament on Wednesday, calling on the government not to support the start of talks on Ukraine's EU accession as Budapest steps up pressure on Brussels ahead of a crucial summit next week.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban has warned that EU leaders could fail to reach a consensus on starting membership talks with Ukraine and said the issue should not be put on the summit's agenda.
