A series of flawed decisions by Brussels has put Europe in a very difficult position on the international energy market. Peter Szijjarto shared this message on his social media page. According to Hungary's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, energy prices in Europe have risen to many times higher than in the rest of the world.

This is hardly surprising, as Brussels is aggressively dismantling energy connections, banning the use of Russian energy resources, and blocking transport routes,

the minister stated.

Szijjarto added that this situation can only be managed by involving even more energy sources and by building more transport routes.

Today, together with Serbian and Russian colleagues, we are discussing the construction of a new oil pipeline connecting Hungary with Serbia,

the minister concluded his post.
