Hungary announces construction of oil pipeline with Russia and Serbia
Budapest, July 22 (UNI) In a move that could potentially upset the ties between Hungary and the EU, Budapest has announced progress on a new pipeline with Serbia to transport Russian oil. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, taking to X wrote 'We're moving forward with Serbian and Russian partners to build a new oil pipeline between Hungary and Serbia. 'While Brussels is banning Russian energy, cutting links and blocking routes, we need more sources, more routes. Hungary won't fall victim to these disastrous decisions.' Szijjarto made the announcement yesterday after meeting with Russian Deputy Energy Minister Pavel Sorokin and Serbian Minister of Mining and Energy Dubravka Dedovic-Handanovic. Szijjarto said all sides support the project, which could be operational by 2027, and have reviewed investment and construction details, reports RT News. He further accused Brussels of seeking 'to cut us off from Russian oil and gas, forcing Hungarian families to pay two to four times more.' 'We won't allow that. We are building new sources, not shutting them down.' While the Hungarian FM did not disclose Moscow's exact role in the venture, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum last month that the country was ready to both aid in construction and supply oil to the planned pipeline. Hungary's relationship with the European bloc has been stormy, as the country refused to cut ties with Russia following its war Ukraine, and has further denounced the EU's move to cut away its dependence on Moscow's oil and gas supplies by 2028 under its RePower EU Plan, calling the move illogical and detrimental Budapest's energy security.

India & UK all set to sign free trade pact
Representational Image NEW DELHI: As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepared to depart for London, India and the UK seemed all set to sign a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with foreign secretary Vikram Misri saying the deal was undergoing "last-minute work", including legal scrubbing. With discussions likely between Modi and his counterpart Keir Starmer on the Russia-Ukraine war amid renewed attempts by the West to drag Russia to the negotiating table through sanctions that could also impact India for trading with Moscow, Misri underlined India's call to shun double standards on energy trade. While neither side confirmed it officially, both seemed confident that the FTA would be formally signed during Modi's day-long visit that is also expected to see the leaders discuss ways to expand cooperation in areas like trade, defence, technology, education and people-to-people contacts. India is also expected to raise issues related to Khalistani extremism, with Misri saying this should be of concern to Indian partners as well, and press for return of economic fugitives. The UK sees the Russia sanctions as meant only to tame President Vladimir Putin's war machine and not aimed at countries like India, and Misri acknowledged India had not yet seen any actions by the UK on the proposed secondary sanctions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy the Dip: Top 5 Dividend Stocks with Growth Potential Seeking Alpha Read More Undo Speaking about the EU's latest sanctions, he said India's energy security remained the "highest priority" for govt and reiterated that it was important not to have double standards and to have a "clear-eyed perception" of what the global situation was in the broader energy market. "We do understand that there is an important and serious security issue that is confronting Europe, but the rest of the world is also there and is also dealing with issues that are existential for the rest of the world," Misri said, adding that it was important to keep balance and perspective while talking about these issues. Modi will hold talks with Starmer on July 24, after which the FTA is expected to be formally signed. He will also have meetings with business leaders, both from India and the UK. For the UK, while it's an official visit meant to deliver policy outcomes and not a ceremonial state visit, Modi is expected to be hosted personally and separately by both Starmer and King Charles III. "There is the obvious legal scrubbing, etcetera, that any such agreement needs to go through. We are continuing to work on those and last-minute work on that is continuing," Misri said, responding to a query on whether the FTA was going to be signed during the visit. Asked whether the state of Indian prisons was preventing the extradition of Indian fugitives from the UK, Misri said, It's not the case that people haven't been extradited to India - as you know, recently Tahawwur Rana was extradited, and similar issues were involved in that case too.
