Despite Russian president Vladimir Putin’s recent statement that Gazprom would suspend work on the South Stream pipeline, Slovenia’s gas company says it will continue working on the pipeline locally. Republika Srpska president Milorad Dodik has also indicated that the matter is not yet decided.
The reason Plinovodi intents to press ahead is that “no official information about this has come from the Russian side,” the agency reported.
Meanwhile in the Serb entity of Bosnia-Herzegovina, its president Milorad Dodik said he “did not believe Russia’s decision to drop the South Stream project was final, considering that a lot of money had been invested.”
“This is not good news and what the European Union is doing is not fair. Naturally, I understand what strategic interests are and all this is part of the political fight between the West and Russia over Ukraine,” Dodik told reporters.
