Novak appreciated the relevance of Nord Stream 2

“We cannot say, based on the momentary drop in demand, that such infrastructure projects are no longer needed.

This is a long-term project for many decades.

Of course, the project remains relevant, "- Interfax quotes Novak.

He expressed confidence that the project will be implemented.

“Yes, there are certain difficulties.

But nevertheless it continues, ”the minister said.

Earlier, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said about the importance of continuing the implementation of Nord Stream 2 and urged not to link the construction of the gas pipeline with the situation around Alexei Navalny.
