BUDAPEST, June 26 (Reuters) - Hungary can continue to pay for Russian gas through Hungarian OTP Bank OTPB.BU until October due to the extension of a Russian presidential decree that allows the transaction, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Thursday on Facebook.

"This will ensure the security of our gas supply in the coming period. Today in Turkey, we are discussing how to secure the delivery of cheap Russian energy to Hungary in the long term," Szijjarto said.
