Hungary says rejecting Russian oil embargo over energy security concerns

Hungary’s reluctance to follow the EU path of abandoning Russian energy supplies is driven by the country’s energy security concerns, rather than political motives, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto said on Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, Szijjarto embarked on a working trip to Nur-Sultan, where he has already met with Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tileuberdi.
