Hungary, Serbia protest Bulgaria’s tax on transit gas from Russia
The governments of Hungary and Serbia said a decision by Bulgaria to levy a tax on the transit of their gas from Russia was "an adversarial step" that put "the safe supply of energy at risk" for both countries, in a joint statement issued on Tuesday.
“This decision goes against European solidarity, endangering the energy security of a fellow EU member state and a candidate country,” the sides said in their statement.
“Hungary and Serbia will coordinate their positions and will not leave this hostile Bulgarian decision without a proper response,” they added.
