Moscow Times: South Stream Replacement Could Supply Southeast Europe
Russia has not given up on building a pipeline to supply natural gas to Southeast Europe despite the collapse of the South Stream project over European Union resistance, Russia's new ambassador to Hungary was quoted as saying.
Vladimir Sergeyev told Hungarian daily Magyar Hirlap in an interview published on Tuesday that a planned Turkish route could also serve Central and Eastern Europe, including Hungary, which gets most of the gas it uses from Russia.
"There is … a chance that we supply the region and Hungary with gas with different focal points, even through connecting to the future Turkish pipeline," Sergeyev was quoted as saying.
