Explosive device discovery on Turkish Stream pipeline

Overview

An explosive device was discovered on the Turkish Stream gas pipeline near the border of Hungary and Serbia. Following the discovery, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić informed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, leading Orbán to convene a defence council.

Hungarian prosecutors announced they would not open a criminal investigation into the incident, citing a lack of jurisdiction because the device was found on Serbian territory. Serbian officials have initiated their own proceedings regarding alleged sabotage and the misuse of explosives. Hungarian authorities have requested further information from Belgrade as the Serbian investigation continues.
