Explosives Found at Gas Pipe Near Hungary Before Election

Serbian police and army uncovered explosives next to a major gas pipeline that supplies much of the country and neighboring Hungary, where pivotal parliamentary elections are scheduled in a week’s time.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Sunday said he had called Prime Minister Viktor Orban to inform his close ally about “the threat to the critical gas infrastructure connecting Serbia and Hungary.” He described the explosives as having “devastating power,” though no damages were reported.
