Serbia will be prepared to increase supplies of Russian gas to Hungary if Ukraine decides to halt transit of gas from Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Sunday.

"We've heard in recent days that Ukraine would like to terminate the previously concluded natural gas transit agreement with Russia. Today, the Serbian president made it clear that if Hungary would like to increase natural gas shipments through Serbia to Hungary, then Serbia can ensure the necessary shipment capacities," Szijjarto was reported as saying by western media.

He also said that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in order to discuss this issue. Orban also met in Budapest with Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov and expressed interest in Turkmen gas being shipped through Hungary.

The leaders are currently in Budapest for the World Athletics Championships.
