Croatia’s Plenkovic Skeptical on Hungary’s Oil Pipeline Request

Croatia’s Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic dampened expectations that Hungary could use a pipeline controlled by his country to help replace Russian oil supplies halted by a blockage in Ukraine.

Oil transit along the Druzhba pipeline to Hungary has been halted since late last month amid large-scale Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Mol Group, Hungary’s largest energy company, said no oil has been delivered via Ukraine since Jan. 27.
