Hungarian FM discusses energy cooperation with Bulgarian president

Hungary will increasingly rely on Bulgaria’s gas transit capacities, the minister of foreign affairs and trade said after talks with Rumen Radev, Bulgaria’s president, late on Wednesday.

“Since we are planning to buy an increasing amount of gas from Azerbaijan and Turkiye, we will need Bulgaria’s transit capacities more and more,” Péter Szijjártó said on Facebook.

The minister said the Bulgarian president had assured him of his country’s readiness to cooperate.

Szijjártó and Radev agreed that the possible interruption of deliveries through Ukraine would increase the importance of the Bulgaria-Serbia-Hungary transit route.

Hungarian FM highlighted the Bulgarian president’s merits in the advancement of bilateral ties, and his crucial role in making Bulgaria a “reliable partner with regard to gas transit deliveries.”
