Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó has visted Moscow to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and secure guarantees on energy imports.
Hungary is one of the last EU member states, along with Slovakia, still importing large volumes of Russian oil and natural gas through pipelines, and the question of energy prices is a hot topic in the Hungarian electoral campaign, where the opposition Tisza party leads opinion polls ahead of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's Fidesz.
