Serbia Discovers Explosive Near Pipeline to Hungary, Raising Election Security Concerns
Serbian authorities have discovered an explosive device near a gas pipeline that connects Serbia to Hungary, just days before Hungary's crucial elections. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić informed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban about the incident, which has prompted Orban to convene an emergency defense council and increase military protection of the pipeline. Hungary's Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó described the attempt to sabotage the TurkStream pipeline as an attack on Hungary's sovereignty. The incident has become a focal point in the Hungarian election campaign, with Orban's main opponent, Péter Magyar, suggesting it could be a 'false flag' operation designed to influence the election outcome.
