Foreign Minister Seeks Guarantees on Russian Oil Supplies in Moscow

Foreign Affairs Minister Péter Szijjártó is in Moscow on Wednesday to discuss Hungary’s energy security, with the aim of ensuring that the necessary quantities of crude oil and natural gas remain available at unchanged prices despite the crisis. The minister stated that given the currently rather unstable global security situation, it is crucial to secure energy supplies. He added that Hungary has always been a reliable partner and expects the same in return. The minister is scheduled to meet with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, and the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy, Alexander Novak.
