Russian gas can no longer be considered cheap for Hungary, said Prime Minister Peter Magyar and advocated the diversification of supplies.
"Regardless of what the previous government said, there is no more cheap Russian gas," the prime minister said in a phone interview with ATV, as quoted by the I Love You Hungaryág portal.
According to Origo, according to Magyar, the cost of Russian gas is also related to the exchange rates, so its purchase does not give Hungary the previous price advantage. He explained that in the selection of providers, an important role is not played so much by the transport capabilities but by the transit rates.
The Prime Minister added that Hungary is interested in purchasing gas from as many sources as possible. In his opinion, diversity will allow the country to take a more advantageous position in the negotiations on transit rates.
