Hungary and Serbia to boost energy cooperation with strategic investments

Serbia is a partner of “strategic importance” for Hungary, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said on Wednesday, after talks with Dubravka Đedović, Serbia’s energy minister.

“In light of lessons learnt in recent weeks, we agreed in the course of our phone conversation to accelerate our joint energy and energy security investments, including the establishment of another interconnector between the two countries’ electricity grids and the construction of the first crude pipeline,” Szijjártó said in a post on social media. Energy crises in recent years, often the product of politics, show that countries that lack mineral and energy resources need to work closely together to ensure their energy security, he said, calling out certain global players for disregarding the difficulties caused for their allies by sanctions and restrictions.
