The Hungarian government does not see Russian gas as cheap and continues to look for other sources of supply to import fuel at the most profitable prices possible, Prime Minister Peter Magyar told the ATV channel.
"The cost of gas supplied to Hungary depends on a number of factors, among which transit costs play an important role," Magyar noted. For this reason, he explained, Budapest seeks to diversify supply sources and routes.
He also emphasized that the government and the state company MVM will try to "establish a combination of energy sources that guarantees reliable supply at the most affordable prices possible."
