Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Sinisa Mali and Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Peter Szijjarto underlined today in a joint statement that the decision of Bulgaria to introduce a tax on the Russian gas that is delivered through its territory is a move aimed against Hungary and Serbia.
Q:
A:
Bulgaria’s tax on transit of Russian gas a move against Hungary, Serbia
Belgrade,
17 October 2023
This new Bulgarian regulation threatens the safe energy supply in Hungary and Serbia.
The European Union (EU) did not impose sanctions on the delivery of natural gas from Russia and therefore the argument of the Bulgarian Prime Minister is totally false. This decision undermines European solidarity and jeopardises the energy security of both EU member states and candidate countries.
Hungary and Serbia will harmonise their positions and respond to this controversial decision by Bulgaria accordingly, it is said in the joint statement.
