Well, the Czech Republic used to get most of its natural gas from Russia as well, even very recently - mainly due to how the old eastern block pipeline network was laid out.
But it has since the switched to regasiffied LNG & rented a couple LNG terminals for it. Other European countries did the same successfully. Why Hungary can't do that as well ?
Seems more like some direct blackmail against Orban and his people to me.
- badpun 3y agoI believe that Hungary is doing that as well (a quick googling reveals a bunch of projects under development and construction). However, untying themselves from Russia might take a couple of years at least.
- m4rtink 3y agoI was frankly surprised how quickly & well it went it went for the Czech Republic & other countries. But indeed its not as easy for every country, for various reasons (that might or might not include corruption :P).
