“Mr. Shefchovic will meet with Mr. Novak in Moscow, one of the issues of discussion will be the transit of gas”, - told RIA Novosti in the EC.

Maroš Shefčović will arrive in Russia on June 13.

Earlier, he said that negotiations on the transit of Russian gas to Europe through the territory of Ukraine should be held as soon as possible.
