Hungary and Russia in Gas Supply Route Discussions: Szijjarto

Hungary is in discussions with Russia about redirecting all of its gas shipments under a long-term supply deal to the Turkstream pipeline that brings gas to Hungary via Serbia.

• "We are receiving on a daily basis a steady volume of 32-33 million cubic meters of gas, we get half of this amount via Turkstream via Serbia every day -- this shows that the southern shipping route is the most stable, predictable and secure," Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Facebook.
• "This is why there are talks underway about redirecting all the gas shipments arriving within the framework of the long-term Russian gas supply deal to the southern route, as we can see that the uncertainty on the western pipelines reduces the amount of gas arriving from Austria under the long-term supply deal." he said.
