Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Thursday said his country was interested in receiving electricity from Azerbaijan through Georgia and Romania, following a meeting with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili in Budapest.
Orbán noted an infrastructure of new, high-capacity transmission lines would be used for the purpose, adding if the energy was delivered “directly to us next year” the country would “no longer have to purchase natural gas”.
“I was very happy that the Georgian prime minister supports this initiative,” he noted.
On his part, Garibashvili said his government was a “supporter of these projects and one of the important participants”.
