Croatia is not a reliable partner for oil transit, since it has raised the duty fivefold since 2022, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Friday, commenting on Brussels' proposal to replace the Russian oil supplies stopped by Kiev with transit through Croatia.
Earlier in the day, the Financial Times reported, citing a letter from EU Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis, that the European Commission had advised Hungary and Slovakia to abandon Russian oil and seek alternative sources in response to a complaint that Ukraine has blocked the transit of oil from Russia.
"Croatia is simply not a reliable transit country," Szijjarto wrote on social media, adding that since the start of the conflict in Ukraine, Croatia has increased the price of oil transit fivefold compared to the average market price.

ReplyDelete"Хорватия – просто ненадежная страна для транзита. С начала [конфликта на Украине] они подняли сбор за транзит так, что он в пять раз превышает средний размер по рынку", – отметил глава внешнеполитического ведомства страны в своих соцсетях.
