Simple pragmatism. Nations require energy.

No its about Russian energy and who buys it in Europe. There is a standing offer from Croatia to provide that energy to Hungary and Slovakia with non-Russian oil, which both refused.

As of late February and early March 2026, Croatia has offered to assist Slovakia (led by Prime Minister Robert Fico) and Hungary by supplying oil through its Adria (JANAF) pipeline, following disruptions to the Druzhba pipeline

"Hungary and Slovakia have long shunned higher or exclusive usage of the JANAF pipeline, also called Adria, saying it charged higher fees than Druzhba and due to uncertainty over whether it could transport enough oil to cover the full needs of Hungary and Slovakia. "Croatia has insisted the capacity was sufficient.

"MOL said on Friday that Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia and the European Commission have agreed to conduct tests under international supervision to determine its capacity.

" 'After that, we will finally be able to see clearly what the Croatian section of the Adria pipeline is capable of,' the MOL statement said. "At present, there is no point in throwing around figures that have not been verified by appropriate tests."

Croatia must allow Russian oil flows to Hungary and Slovakia, MOL says Reuters, 20 February 2026.

It's about "how much it costs" as well as "from where it comes."
