BERLIN, March 9 - Germany wants the Nord Stream-2 project to be implemented, but it also sees the need to ensure the reliability of gas transit through Ukraine and gas supplies to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said.
"The Russian side has known my attitude to this issue for many years already: we need Nord Stream-2, but we also need the reliability of Ukrainian pipelines and the reliability of energy supplies to countries such as Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland. And I sense that our Russian partners are quite ready for that," Gabriel said in an interview with Interfax.
