Kremlin-friendly Hungarian PM a problem for Brussels? Sławek Szefs reports.
Is Hungarian PM Viktor Orban a thorn in the side of EU's energy policy?
As John Beauchamp reports, it seems that some of the latest declarations by Hungary's government leader Viktor Orban, such as voicing strong conviction in favour of continuing the Russian South Stream gas pipeline project blocked by the EU, have been received as quite problematic by Brussels.
Equally perplexing for his compatriots are accusations of corruption.
"We are trying to find a place between the proverbial 'devil and the deep blue sea'. After all, 80 percent of Hungary's energy sector depends on Moscow,” explains political analyst and former Hungarian diplomat Attila Szalai in a comment for Polish Radio.
