The Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Petr Fiala, announced that the country has completely got rid of gas imports from Russia.
He wrote about it in X.
According to him, one of the important steps was the opening of an LNG terminal in the Netherlands, which is able to cover a large part of consumption.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic announced at the end of April that the country had completely given up gas from Russia. In the first quarter of 2023, all imported gas arrived in the Czech Republic from Germany.
- Recently, Serbia and Bulgaria completed a gas pipeline to reduce dependence on Russian gas.
- In the EU, member states may be allowed to block the import of gas from Russia. This will allow European energy companies to withdraw from contracts with Russian gas suppliers without having to pay significant compensation.
