“There can be only one forecast - the project will be completed.

There will be attempts to hinder the project.

We see this both now and from past events.

It is clear that there are those who are not interested in the presence of our gas in Europe.

Because this is competition, ”the deputy is sure.

He also recalled that the project is beneficial to European countries.

“In any case, this is a logical project that fits into the logic that is being built around the economy of using this gas directly on the territory of Europe.

Therefore, those who wish to supply shale gas, of course, understand that economically they will definitely lose to pipeline gas.

Which is much more profitable both in terms of reliability and price, "the interlocutor of RT concluded.

Earlier, the press service of the operator of the Nord Stream 2 AG project reported that the Akademik Chersky pipelayer had begun laying the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the territorial waters of Denmark.
