RIA Novosti: Hungary’s Prime Minister Not Intending to Give Up South Stream
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the South Stream project meets the interests of the country and he does not plan to give it up, Reuters reported on Saturday.
The corresponding statement came amid discussions on further EU sanctions against Russia, which may affect the energy sector. Orban said that, although he supports Ukraine, he must think about the interests of his country first and that is why he will not reject the South Stream Project.
He added that, if maintaining good relations with Russia means laying a pipeline across Hungary, the country will certainly support the South Stream project.
