Hungary and Slovakia are planning to sue the European Union over its ban on Russian gas imports, with Hungarian leader Orban also rejecting a domestic opposition proposal to abandon Russian oil and gas. This stance contrasts with Poland's approach, which is offering to help Slovakia replace its Russian gas supply, revealing a split within the Visegrad region on achieving energy independence from Russia.
In a significant regional energy move, Hungary's state-owned MOL has agreed to purchase a majority stake in Serbia's main oil company, NIS, from Russia's Gazprom. This deal, which requires approval from the United States, would grant Hungary substantial control over Serbia's oil industry. Separately, Slovakia's Prime Minister Robert Fico traveled to Florida to meet with Donald Trump, with their discussions centered on a potential nuclear energy deal that Fico praised following the meeting.
