Szijjarto announced the transfer of the operator of the Turkish Stream to Hungary

The operator of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline, South Stream Transport (SST) (a Dutch subsidiary of Gazprom), is moving its headquarters from the Netherlands to Hungary. This was announced on December 9 by Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations Peter Szijjarto.

"The company's move from the Netherlands to Hungary has begun, and its activities are not limited by any sanctions," he wrote on Facebook (the social network belongs to Meta, a company whose activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

The day before, the Amsterdam court seized SST's assets and ordered the company to pay legal costs in the amount of €1,9 thousand.
