Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico, following talks with Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, urged the European Union to lift sanctions on imports of Russian oil and gas and to take steps to restore oil supplies via the Druzhba pipeline.
Reuters stated this in an article, according to Ukrinform.
The Slovak prime minister also called on the EU to take measures to address the energy crisis caused by the war in Iran.
Fico said in a statement after a call with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that the EU should renew dialogue with Russia and ensure conditions so member states can get missing gas and oil supplies from all sources, including Russia.
As Ukrinform reported, on Thursday Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called for the immediate lifting of sanctions against Russia's energy sector in light of the global energy crisis.
