Construction of an LNG terminal on the island of Krk, Croatia, is in Hungary's interest, Peter Szijjarto, the foreign minister, said in Zagreb after talks with Tomislav Coric, Croatia's energy and environment minister. Szijjarto said the issue of long-term energy supplies was a critical issue for central Europe in light of various uncertainties such as the lack of a transit agreement between Ukraine and Russia from 2020. The question remains how central Europe can guarantee access to secure gas supplies in the next few years, he added.
