What goes on in Poland on the 25th of April.
Energy at the Poland-Romania round table talks
Government Plenipotentiary for strategic energy infrastructure Piotr Naimski and chairman of the parliamentary energy and treasury committee Maciej Małecki visited Romania, where they talked about security in the region in a round table format.
Poland and Romania cooperate in the format of the so-called Bucharest Nine, ie nine NATO countries that want to strengthen the presence of the North Atlantic Alliance due to the growing activity of the Russian Federation. These countries warned against the Zapad-2018 maneuvers. During and after the NATO summit in Warsaw, they supported the initiative of strengthening the eastern flank of NATO through the intensified presence of allied troops in Central and Eastern Europe.
The presence of Naimski and Małecki at a discussion in Bucharest suggests that Poland and Romania will jointly address the subject of energy cooperation. Both countries reduce their dependence on gas supplies from Russia. Poland is developing routes of diversification of supplies from other directions, and Romania is exploiting existing deposits and looking for new ones. Both countries are developing interconnections with neighbors as part of EU policy.
