B92: Greece could provide alternative gas route

Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Wednesday an alternative gas supply route for Serbia and Hungary could come from Greece through Macedonia.

This scenario is considered after the recent cancellation of the South Stream gas pipeline project.

"It is certain that South Stream was one of the most important projects and its financial cancellation is bad news for Serbia and Hungary," he said at the Serbian government headquarters after the signing of a plan to modernize the railway between Belgrade and Budapest.

South Stream was very important for energy security in Central Europe, he noted.

There is no other choice but to find a new solution, said Szijjarto, who is also the minister of trade.
