Szijjarto: Hungary prepared to meet energy security challenges

Hungary will need new solutions and transport routes to handle uncertainties in energy supplies expected from next year, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Belgrade on Monday. He added, however, that the country was prepared for the challenge. Szijjarto told a regional energy security forum that gas supplies were crucial for central Europe, yet in recent years "there have been few developments that gave us reason to be glad". "Next year will be a watershed in this regard," he added.
