00:01The European Commission has asked Ukraine to accelerate the repair works on the Druzhba pipeline to diffuse the energy dispute
00:09with Budapest.
00:10Hungary's double veto has paralysed a €90 billion loan for Kyiv and a fresh round of sanctions against Russia.
00:16At the same time, the Adria pipeline, also known as JANAF, which begins in Croatia, has emerged as the most
00:23viable alternative route to ensure that Hungary and Slovakia continue to receive oil supplies without interruption.
00:30JANAF is prepared to meet the full annual needs of refineries in Slovakia and Hungary, the operator said on Wednesday.
00:37There is an alternative supply route that can be used by Hungary and Slovakia, and this is the Adria pipeline
00:44from Croatia.
00:46Croatia confirmed at the meeting that non-Russian crude oil is being transported through the Adria pipeline to Hungary and
00:55Slovakia.
00:56The two landlocked countries have insisted on their right to receive the Russian crude oil they have contracted through the
01:03Druzhba pipeline, which is currently non-operational.
01:06According to the European Commission, Croatia is assessing the possibility of whether it can lawfully accept Russian crude at its
01:14port, both under the EU and US sanctions.
