After a short delivery stop, Russia wants to pump gas through Austria to Italy again.
A solution to the problem had been found with the Italian customers, the Russian state-owned company Gazprom announced on Wednesday on the Telegram news channel.
The Austrian operator agrees to accept so-called nominations for the transport, which will allow Russian gas supplies to be resumed.
The Italian state-owned group and largest gas importer Eni had previously announced that it wanted to pay guarantees to Austria so that the Alpine republic would again forward gas to Italy.
Gazprom stopped supplying gas to the Mediterranean country over the weekend.
The Russian energy giant stated that it was no longer able to transfer 20 million euros in security guarantees to the Austrian transporter due to new regulations
Eni is therefore checking whether it can raise the money instead of Gazprom so that transit in Austria can be resumed.
Italy receives Russian gas via a pipeline route that runs through Austria.
The Italian group saw “absolutely no geopolitical reasons” as the reason for the delivery stop.
Rather, problems arose with payment details in rubles or euros.
