Hungary seeks EU action against Bulgaria's transit tax on Russian natural gas
Fox News
Hungary has requested that the European Commission take bureaucratic action against Bulgaria for transit taxes levied by the country on Russian natural gas.
But the tax has angered Bulgaria's neighbor Serbia, as well as fellow EU member Hungary, which are heavily dependent on Russian gas coming mostly via Turkey and Bulgaria through the TurkStream pipeline.
In a Facebook video, Hungary's minister for EU affairs, Janos Boka, said he had sent a letter to the European Commission urging it to launch an infringement procedure against Bulgaria, the first potential step the bloc can use to ensure its laws are upheld by member states.
