A couple of days ago, one of Gazprom’s vice-heads said there is no reason to lower gas prices for Poland because Poland has no alternative for Russian deliveries. We are currently creating such alternative – said Naimski, stressing that Russia is „outside of civilized recourses economy”. He reminded multiply repeating situations when deliveries were limited or suspended.

Naimski added that there is a political consensus around this project. Baltic Pipe is supposed to be finished by 2022.
