EU recommended Hungary to get oil through Croatia.
Hungary refused because they don’t trust Croatia to give them cheap ruZZian oil.
The European Commission’s analysis shows that there is enough spare capacity on the Croatian JANAF Adriatic pipeline to provide Hungary and Slovakia with oil that does not originate from Russia. European Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis sent a proposal to Slovakia and Hungary to use the Croatian transit channel to obtain the necessary oil supplies.
“Croatia is simply not a reliable country for transit,” Szijjártó said in response to the proposal. “This is unreliable because the price of oil transit has been increased five times compared to the average market values since the beginning of the war. This is unreliable because they have made it impossible for MOL to use long-term transportation capacity. This is unreliable, because the necessary investments to increase the capacity of the line have not been made, and the data on the maximum capacity are given that have never been confirmed by anyone.”
Hungary and Slovakia argue that Kyiv’s decision jeopardizes their energy security and have initiated discussions in the European Commission.
Ukraine insists that de facto the same amount of oil flows through the pipeline as before, thanks to other russian companies.
