Hungary's foreign minister Peter Szijjarto said the country's government hopes to start imports of Russian natural gas through Bulgaria and Serbia via the TurkStream pipeline. Hungary hopes that Bulgaria will implement all the necessary investments to deliver the gas onwards to Serbia and then to Hungary and the European network, Szijjarto said after a meeting with Serbian energy minister Aleksandar Antic and Bulgarian energy minister Temenuzhka Petkova in Belgrade on Wednesday, as seen in a video posted on the website of Serbian news agency Tanjug."The new route would be a huge contribution to the safe and secure energy supply to our region and we hope that we will have the support of the European Union (EU)," Szijjarto also said. The TurkStream offshore gas pipeline, to stretch for 930 km across the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey, will consist of two parallel strings with annual capacity of 15.75 billion cubic metres of gas.
