Hungary and Slovakia seek EU flexibility on Russian energy phase-out

energy security Visegrád Group Russian gas phase-out EU funding Emissions Trading System

Hungary and Slovakia are calling on the European Union for greater flexibility and increased funding to manage the phase-out of Russian energy imports. Both nations argue that their landlocked geography and reliance on existing supply routes make diversifying energy sources more difficult and costly than for other member states.

Under current EU plans, Russian energy imports to Central Europe are scheduled to end by 2027. Slovak Deputy Prime Minister Denisa Saková has requested that the European Commission prioritize the Visegrád Four region—comprising Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, and Poland—in the next EU funding period to support the expansion of necessary oil and gas infrastructure.

Additionally, the Visegrád Group is pressing Brussels to reconsider measures aimed at lowering electricity costs. This includes a request for more leeway regarding the EU's carbon market reforms and a proposal to delay the implementation of the second phase of the Emissions Trading System (ETS2) until 2030.
