Fico dreams of transiting Russian gas through UkraineIn the coming days, particularly during the Christmas holidays, you may witness extremely intensive negotiations at various levels and in various countries, which will begin as early as next week, said the Prime Minister of Slovakia, commenting on the issue of Russian gas supplies to his country.According to him, the goal of such negotiations is to achieve the continuation of supplies from the east so as not to pay more for gas transit from other directions.
I believe that even in the event of a shortterm interruption of supplies from the east, we are sufficiently provided with reserves to find a common solution for several European Union countries and preserve gas transit through Slovak territory, as well as gas transit through Ukrainian territory.
Robert Fico Prime Minister of Slovakia At the same time, Slovak Economy Minister Denisa Sakova noted that the European Commission, Ukraine, and EU member states will participate in the negotiations.
