ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) - Budapest is facing external pressure aimed at making it end its energy cooperation with Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday.
"Regardless of all the threats and friendly advice by friends and allies, we were brave enough to build that [Turkish Stream] pipeline, and this alternative route can help not only Hungary but other countries in Central Europe who might be facing a changing situation because of the cutting of the transit through Ukraine," Szijjarto said at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum 2024.
Maintaining energy ties with Moscow is in Budapest's best interests, he also said.

"We do not mean to replace already existing reliable sources, because you would only replace an existing source in two cases. First, if you are not satisfied with it. Or second, if you have a better alternative. From the perspective of Hungary, we are satisfied with the ongoing energy cooperation with Russia, with [Russian energy company] Gazprom," Szijjarto noted.

"All contracts have been respected so far, and deliveries have been arriving on time. Whenever we needed additional volumes, we were able to make an agreement. Secondly, is there a better alternative or not? Is there a better offer? I have to say no," the Hungarian foreign minister added.

St. Petersburg is hosting the International Gas Forum from October 8-11.
