TASS: South Stream project is of interest to whole Europe — Serbia, Hungary foreign ministers
The whole Europe has a common interest in building the South Stream gas pipeline, Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic and his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto said after talks on Friday.
“We are going to implement this project because we are convinced that it will considerably improve the safety of gas supplies to Central Europe. That is why we believe that the South Stream project is of European interest,” Szijjarto said.
According to him, Hungary has three major interests in Central Europe: peace, reliable energy supplies and improvement of economic ties. Reliable energy supplies can be achieved, among other things, through diversification of gas supply routes, Szijjarto said. He also called on Russia and the European Union to resume a dialogue on the South Stream project.
