BUDAPEST, Oct 4 (Reuters) - The European Union's
economic strategy represents an "economic cold war" and Hungary
does not want to be squeezed into either bloc and wants to keep
trading with both sides, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on
state radio in an interview on Friday.
    Orban added that products made in the EU will be
increasingly difficult to sell if world economy is split into
two blocs and that it was unclar if Hungary can successfully
pursue its strategy of "economic neutrality,".
