Szijjarto calls for pipeline deliveries to be exempt from EU oil embargo

Hungary's government is calling for pipeline deliveries to be exempt from the European Union's planned sanctions on Russian energy deliveries, as the European Commission has not made a proposal that would ameliorate the damaging effects of an embargo on Russian oil, Peter Szijjarto, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Wednesday. Szijjarto said in a video posted on Facebook that the Brussels proposal, if accepted in its current form, would "completely demolish" Hungary's currently stable energy security.
