Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary had received the energy security guarantees it asked for; the European Commission has pledged to protect gas and crude pipelines.
During a break at a meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Minister Szijjártó said the integrity of infrastructure supplying energy to member states was a matter that affected the security of the entire EU. He added that the EC would ask Ukraine for assurances on maintaining crude deliveries bound for the EU.
Minister Szijjártó said details on the matter would be announced soon.
