Hungary and Slovakia have agreed to build a pipeline that will transport oil products like gasoline and diesel in what Slovakia's Energy Ministry on Tuesday called a step toward improving the stability of fuel supplies in the region.
The pipeline, which will link Hungary's refinery in Százhalombatta with Slovakia's refinery in the capital Bratislava, will be 127 kilometers (79 miles) long and be capable of transporting 1.5 million tons of gas and diesel per year, the ministry said.
