Szijjarto meets Gazprom, Rosatom leaders in Budapest

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto met leaders of Russia's national gas company Gazprom and Russian nuclear energy giant Rosatom for talks in Budapest on Wednesday. After talks with Gazprom's chief executive Alexei Miller, Szijjarto said that Hungary's gas supplies had "never been this secure" and added that "for the first time in history Hungary's gas storage facilities are full". According to a foreign ministry statement, Hungary now has 6.4 billion cubic metres of natural gas in reserve, which puts the country in a position to "start negotiations about supplies for the next heating season already".
