FM: Hungary’s energy supply "still secure"

In a Facebook post, Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said Hungary’s energy supply continues to be secure as Russia is still delivering crude oil to Hungary in line with its contractual obligations. Europe, including Hungary, still confronted key energy security challenges since imports remained the continent’s main sources of energy, he said, and he referred to “worrying reports” about attacks on energy infrastructure in the war-torn neighborhood. Minister Szijjártó said that he had talked by phone with Alexander Novak, Russia’s deputy prime minister for energy affairs, who underscored Russia’s commitment to delivering crude to Hungary, “so the country’s energy supply remains secure”.
