Xinhua: North-South pipeline key for gas supply security for central Europe

The Central Europe as well as Slovakia lacks the north-south gas pipeline connection to secure supplies, Milan Sedlacek from national gas pipeline operator Eustream said on Thursday.

"Eustream, as well as the European Commission, places emphasis on this corridor," said Sedlacek at the international conference Energoforum in the Slovak city of Vyhne.

"Poland will construct a terminal for liquified natural gas that could enable the interconnection of central European countries to this source," said Sedlacek.

To that end, the Slovakia-Poland connection is indispensable and Eustream has already completed the feasibility study on the route. The project has also been included into the Project of European Commission's Joint Interest program.
