Hungary to keep Druzhba as main crude pipeline, foreign minister says

Hungary's Energy Strategy: Hungary will continue to rely on the Druzhba pipeline for crude oil imports from Russia, despite EU pressures to diversify energy sources. The country has received significant shipments through this pipeline and has been granted exemptions from the EU embargo on Russian oil.

Ongoing Relations with Russia: Hungary maintains close ties with Russia, including energy cooperation, as evidenced by the continued supply of gas via Turkstream and the progress of a nuclear plant project with Rosatom, which has faced delays since its award in 2014.
