According to Robert Tomaszewski, an analyst at Polityka Insight, problems may arise due to the fact that the Baltic Pipe route will cross the Nord Stream 2 route.

“Crossing with Nord Stream 2 is very important. Gaz-System needs to conclude an agreement with Gazprom on this issue, ”he said.

Tomashevsky noted that this is a technical discussion, but he admits the option that Gazprom "will postpone the project or make the whole process take more time."

Earlier it was reported that the Baltic Pipe, which will connect the Danish and Polish gas networks and open access to the Norwegian gas fields for Poland, should be built by the end of 2022.

In Warsaw, they believe that this will allow it to become independent of Russian natural gas.
