And this is not the cost of pumping for a thousand cubic meters of gas and for a hundred kilometers, as it was before, it will be the price associated with entering the gas transmission system and exit, ”he said in response to a corresponding question.
According to Novak, while the issue of gas transit prices has not been discussed at the talks.
“This is all considered and evaluated in terms of competition with other gas transmission systems ... And this will be within the framework of existing tariffs that are in force in Europe today,” the Russian minister emphasized.
