Slovakia can receive “Azeri” gas through Ukraine

After the EU Foreign Minister Meeting on Monday, it seems to be a chance of resumption of gastransit through Ukraine. This time, “Azeri” gas would be delivered to Slovakia.

The Slovak Foreign Minister welcomed Europe Commission, which will continue to negotiate with Ukraine. “From the beginning we have discussed with the Ukrainian government the opportunity to transport except Russian gas via Ukraine, and we see the Ukrainian side to negotiate such transport as a return to the solution we suggested where we talked about transporting gas From Azerbaijan, for example. “Wrote Minister Juraj Blanár on his Facebook.

The Ukrainian president also sent a positive message about this solution over the weekend. “Ukraine is ready to transit natural gas from Azerbaijan to Europe, and a contract can be quickly inked if an appointment can be reached,” said Volodymyr Zelenskiy after a meeting with Maia Sandu, president of Moldova.

Hungarian Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjjártó, was also glad with the Commission’s statement which “it was obliged to protect the natural gas and oil pipelines that led to EU Member States.” The Hungarian government will also be part of the Ukrainian transit negotiation.

However, the gas arriving through Ukraine is hardly from Azerbaijan, but the quantities would be “swapped” between the two countries before being sent. There is also the question of how quickly the agreement can be completed.
