Change language:
The construction of a crude pipeline running between Hungary and Serbia will start soon, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said in Belgrade on Friday.
Szijjártó said the pipeline, including a 180km-190km stretch in Hungary, would be completed by 2027, ensuring fuel supply for Serbia and the region. He added that Hungary and Serbia would double interconnector capacity between their electricity grids by 2028.
He noted that a number of countries in Central Europe were getting their gas delivered via Serbia after Ukraine stopped forwarding Russian gas to Europe. Hungary is getting around 7.5 billion cubic metres of gas a year via Serbia, he added. Szijjártó said Ukraine was “one of the main reasons” for the energy crisis in Europe. “Ukraine has left Central Europe in the lurch in terms of energy supply. Serbia is the country that has acted as a responsible, dependable and fair transit country, ensuring the delivery of sufficient volumes of gas,” he added.
Good, but also get into fracking and nuclear.
Food and energy self-sufficiency are the absolute sine qua non for any country. never ever trust anyone else with it, let alone rely on them for it.
