That is welcome but action in line with EU rules would be even better,

the Foreign Minister emphasized. "We expect the European Commission to

behave as the European Commission, and not as Ukraine's Commission,

he underscored.

"Call on Ukraine to respect the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement, which clearly states that Ukraine must not endanger the energy security of any EU member state," he added.

Apply EU rules on Russian oil imports and make it clear to Croatia that during the disruption of the Druzhba pipeline they cannot refuse maritime deliveries of Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia,

Peter Szijjarto emphasized in conclusion.
