The chairman of Hungary's Fidesz Party, Mozer, said in Budapest on the 17th that senior officials of Hungary's oil and gas company informed him that the "Friendship" oil pipeline may restart next week. The Hungarian oil and gas company confirmed that despite the turmoil in the global market, Hungary's fuel supply will still be guaranteed. Mozer stated that he reached an agreement with the Hungarian oil and gas company that after the new government is formed, the protective prices of diesel and gasoline will remain unchanged. In addition, Mozer said that a delegation from the European Union will arrive in Budapest on the same day to hold informal talks with the Fidesz Party. Both sides are working towards reaching a consensus on EU funding issues before the new government is formed. Due to time constraints, negotiations with the EU are not easy. He hopes to reach a political agreement on EU funding issues during his first visit to Brussels.
