Bloomberg<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nSenior US official, Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker<\/strong>, said that Budapest's arguments about \u00abgeographical dependence\u00bb were unfounded.<\/p>\n\u00abOur friends in Hungary have a lot to plan, and we, as good allies, will help them implement these plans to get rid of their dependence on Russian oil and gas,\u00bb Vitaker said on the air. Fox News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nHungary's arguments<\/h2>\n
The Hungarian authorities continue to claim that due to lack of access to the sea<\/strong> The country has no real alternative to Russian oil.
Premier Viktor Orban<\/strong> has repeatedly rejected the idea of active use an alternative oil pipeline through Croatia<\/strong>, citing high costs and technical difficulties.<\/p>\nCroatia assures that its The oil pipeline infrastructure is capable of providing<\/strong> both Hungary and Slovakia.
Currently MOL and Janaf companies<\/strong> are negotiating a new supply contract.<\/p>\n
\nWashington's position<\/h2>\n
Ambassador Whitaker stressed that the United States \u00abwill continue to work with the Hungarian side\u00bb and with neighbouring countries Croatia and Slovakia to Reduce the region's dependence on Russian energy resources<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\u00abUnlike many of its neighbours, Hungary has not taken any steps towards energy diversification. This creates risks both for the country itself and for the whole of Europe,\u00bb the diplomat said.<\/p>\n
