Hungary authorities contemplate to support sanctions against Russia.

Péter Szijjártó, the Head of Hungary Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced that, informs “Liga.net”

“I said the German Minister for Foreign Affairs that Hungary would always be devoted to the decisions Europe took altogether, that also concerns Ukrainian issue”, declared Szijjártó  at the end of the meeting with his German colleague Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

According to him, the relations between Budapest and Moscow should be “balanced, healthy and pragmatic”; nevertheless, Hungary will stand for Ukraine’s sovereignty. Szijjártó added that his country is proud of the possibility to deliver more gas, in comparison with other European countries, in Ukraine by reversed routes.

At the same time, touching upon the question of energy security, the Minister addressed his German colleague Frank-Walter Steinmeier with a request “to bring support to build the “north-south” gas transportation corridor”.

In his turn, German Minister for Foreign Affairs stated that he had a set of questions on the decisions of Hungarian authorities to realize the “South Stream” project bypassing the EC decisions. “Hungary should make statements”, Steinmeier added.

It is to be recalled that in November 3 the Hungarian parliament, in spite of the EC position, passed the law that would clear the way to the building of “South Stream” gas pipeline.
