Szijjarto: Hungary fulfilled tasks to combat consequences of energy crisis

Hungary has fulfilled all tasks to prevent suffering serious consequences from the energy crisis, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday. Szijjarto told a panel discussion focusing on the future of traditional energy during an event dubbed Russia Energy Week in Moscow that "it is not an exaggeration to say that the European energy market is in crisis". He said the crisis had been caused by three factors: political issues being confused with energy issues, a hostile approach to natural gas and a further cooling of Europe-Russia relations.
