The Nord Stream 2 project is beneficial for the Czech Republic, Spokesman for the country’s Ministry of Industry and Trade Milan Repka said, as cited by the Mlada Fronta Dnes daily.
“The Czech Republic will benefit from this project,” he stressed. After the new gas pipeline is put into operation, the amount of gas transit through the country is expected to nearly double.
At the same time, according to Repka, the Czech Repulbic believes it is important to maintain the transit of Russian gas through Ukraine so that there are various routes to deliver gas to the European Union.
