Brussels tells Hungary and Slovakia to wean themselves off Russian oil - Financial Times

Quick Summary:

In a letter to Budapest and Bratislava seen by the Financial Times, EU trade commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said that “diversification away from Russian fossil fuels should be actively pursued”.

He added that at a meeting last week to discuss the issue by representatives of all member states “a significant number . . . questioned why Hungary and Slovakia had apparently not yet explored alternatives so far”.

But Dombrovskis said they could use an existing pipeline bringing shipborne crude from Croatia.“The commission’s current analysis points to an adequate capacity for Hungary and Slovakia via alternative pipelines such as the Janaf Adriatic pipeline.
