Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipeline is a terrorist attack, and Hungary and Serbia made it clear that in the event of such a failure of the gas pipeline in southern Europe, the perpetrators will not be able to get off lightly and “sweep everything under the carpet.” It is reported by RIA Novosti.

“I would like to remind you that the southern interconnector, through which gas is supplied to Hungary, has become a striking force for the Hungarian economy. The explosion of Nord Stream, which, as you know, happened was just a terrorist attack, no matter who committed it, it was a terrorist act, ”Orban said.

He added that "if it was done in the north just to prevent gas from Russia from reaching Europe, then it can be done in the south as well."

Earlier, Orban said that the country's government considers the sabotage on the Nord Stream gas pipeline a terrorist attack and, together with Serbia, will do everything to ensure that nothing like this happens again on pipelines that are laid in southern Europe.

According to him, due to the fact that the government considers the incident on the gas pipeline an act of terrorism, the Hungarian authorities, together with partners from Serbia, intend to take measures to prevent such sabotage on the "southern pipeline".
