Seele expressed confidence that “there is no need to discuss alternative routes for Nord Stream 2”.

“Because I am convinced that, based on what Nord Stream 2 AG says, we have a very good chance of getting a building permit from Denmark,” RIA Novosti quoted the head of OMV as saying.

Earlier, Energy Minister Alexander Novak said that the agency expects the implementation of Nord Stream-2 along the route for which the application was submitted, despite the delay in issuing permission to Denmark.

Expert Igor Yushkov, in an interview with FBA Economics Today, assessed the situation surrounding the construction of Nord Stream 2.
