Mentioning "the Zelensky plan" that would deprive EU member states of cheap Russian gas and crude, Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary will stay in close contact with Slovakia to protect national interests.
Minister Szijjártó spoke by phone with his Slovak counterpart Juraj Blanar, and afterwards said in a post on Facebook on Wednesday that they agreed that energy supply must not be imperilled and they would not allow energy prices to shoot up.
He called energy a "purely physical matter", adding that endangering energy security on political-ideological grounds was "unacceptable".
"We agreed to stay in close contact so as to protect our national interests," he added.
