“We have persistently negotiated and achieved that the restriction on oil prices does not apply to pipeline oil supplies, and in the event of an emergency, it also does not apply to sea transport that replaces pipelines,” Szijjarto quoted RIA Novosti as saying.

According to him, the Hungarian side also managed to achieve the exclusion of nuclear energy from the sanctions.

Thus, these sanctions do not affect the construction of the Paks NPP.

Earlier it was reported that representatives of the EU countries agreed on a new package of anti-Russian sanctions, which includes the introduction of a ceiling on oil prices.
