Gas supplies on Croatia-Hungary interconnector could start in 2019
Change language:
By making the Croatia-Hungary gas interconnector reverse-flow capable, Croatia will enable Hungary to buy gas from the network by the end of 2019, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Saturday after talks with Tomislav Coric, Croatia’s minister of environment and energy.
Talks have also started on the price of gas available from the LNG (liquid natural gas) terminal in the Island of Krk, Szijjártó told MTI by phone.
“It serves Hungary’s national security and economic interests if it has as many resources available as possible to buy sufficient volume of gas for the operation of the economy and also to satisfy private consumers’ demands,”
Szijjártó said in Dubrovnik where he is attending an international foreign and security policy event dubbed the Dubrovnik Forum.
A Hungarian-Russian gas purchase agreement currently in force will expire at the end of 2020 at the latest. This will create a completely new situation and it will enable Hungary to involve new resources in its gas supply, he added.
