This commentary discusses Hungary's energy supply security and its position in the regional gas market. With its rising prospects of supply diversification and accelerated integration with the regional gas market, Hungary stands a good chance of not only improving its energy security, but also emerging as a significant regional player. According to the authors, such possibility should urge Poland to speed up its own efforts to liberalize the gas market. The EU, in turn, while welcoming Hungary’s infrastructure progress, should continue to observe the country’s policy measures to ensure their compatibility with EU policies.
