Hungary still has no acceptable proposal from EU on Russia oil sanctions -minister

p“The European Commission has caused a problem with a proposal so its a rightful expectation from Hungary… that the EU should offer a solution: to finance the investments and compensate for … the resulting price rises which necessitates a total modernisation of Hungarys energy structure in a magnitude of 1518 billion euros,” Peter Szijjarto said. pdivdivdiv classBodysc17zpet90 cdBBJodiv
