He made the corresponding statement during his speech at the public forum "Transit" in the city of Tihany.
“Hungary is not even ready to discuss any further sanctions in the energy sector, neither on gas, nor on oil,” RIA Novosti quotes him.
Szijjarto pointed out that Hungary is not alone in the issue of non-alignment with the sanctions against Russia, explaining this as a "factor of political stability and political courage", which some other countries "are not given."
In his opinion, those countries that have not joined the anti-Russian restrictions are currently under pressure from the “liberal mainstream”.
Earlier, Foreign Policy correspondent Amanda Coakley said that Viktor Orban's policy towards Russia has become Russia's "Trojan horse" for the EU countries.
By expressing disagreement with the common EU policy, Hungary is causing serious inconvenience to Brussels, she noted.
In early August, the EU Council reported that Hungary and Poland were the only ones out of 27 European Union countries to vote against a plan to voluntarily reduce gas demand by 15% in the coming months.
