The price of gas in European countries will decrease only if gas transit through Ukraine is resumed, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo has told journalists
As Report reports with reference to foreign media, this was stated by Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fitzo to journalists.
‘If anything will lead to a reduction in the cost of gas in Europe, it is only the restoration of transit through Ukraine and its import through the Ukrainian territory and Slovakia further to Western Europe,’ the Prime Minister said.
The cancellation of Kiev’s decision to stop pumping gas to the European Union, he said, will ensure a reduction in gas prices by almost half, to €25 per MWh.
Slovakia, as Fitzo noted, is a country that has received ‘huge revenues from the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine’.
It should be noted that Bratislava has suffered significant losses after the stoppage of gas pumping and will seek to restore the traditional way of obtaining this type of energy raw material. According to him, the country’s leadership will make every effort to resume transit.
