KYIV, Nov 19 - There are no foreign partners willing to buy a stake in the Ukrainian gas transportation system (GTS), the estimated cost of which is $14 billion, Chairman of the Board of Naftogaz Ukrainy Andriy Kobolev has said.

"We have not yet seen the desire to buy the share of the Ukrainian GTS in accordance with this estimate [$7 billion for 49%]. Perhaps it will appear later, but so far no one has such a desire," he said at the Ukrainian Energy Week in Kyiv.
