The Serbian President, Aleksandar Vučić, announced that an explosive device was discovered on a section of the Turkish Stream pipeline leading to Hungary. In response, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán convened an emergency council to address the situation.
This information was reported by the Hungarian publication Telex. Vučić stated, “I just finished a phone call with Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, during which I informed him about the preliminary findings from our military and police investigations regarding the threat to critical gas infrastructure connecting Serbia and Hungary. I assured Prime Minister Orbán that we will keep him updated on the investigation’s progress.”
Orbán confirmed that Serbian police had identified a significant explosive device along with means for its activation at a key gas infrastructure site. This prompted him to call for an emergency meeting on April 5.
Balint Pastor, President of the Hungarian Association of Communities, reported that the explosive was located near the town of Oromhényes, which is situated on the border between Serbia and Hungary. Telex noted that the main road Kanizsa-Zenta in Oromhényes has been closed, restricting access to the area where the explosive was allegedly found.
As Hungary approaches its parliamentary elections on April 12, the discovery of this device raises concerns about security and stability in the region.
