NEW YORK CITY (RIA Novosti) - The absence of any serious investigation into the Nord Stream blasts is unacceptable, and Hungary urges other countries to take this issue seriously, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told RIA Novosti after Sweden terminated its probe into the explosions.
On Wednesday, the Swedish Prosecutor's Office announced the termination of its investigation into the blasts, ruling it does not belong to its jurisdiction. Sweden has handed the materials on the issue to Germany for its investigation into the matter, Swedish public prosecutor Mats Ljungqvist said.
"Hundreds of days have been passed, and no serious investigation has taken place yet. No details have been revealed yet. And I think it's unacceptable," Szijjarto said.
The minister called it "a terrorist attack against a strategic infrastructure in Europe."
"An attack against the safe supply of energy of ours, which is a strategic issue, and the matter of European security. And the fact that no investigation has taken place is very irresponsible and from our perspective, it's really unacceptable. Therefore we urge authorities, be them national or international to take the seriously," Szijjarto said.
Will Germany complete it's investigation into the Nord Stream terror attack after Sweden quit?
