House Vice-chair Peter Ziga (Hlas-SD), tasked with heading the House in a temporary capacity, and Ukraine's Naftogaz Utility General Director Oleksiy Chernyshov agreed on the need to seek economically and politically mutually acceptable solutions to the gas supplies via Ukraine, which other EU countries will support as well, TASR learnt from Parliament's press department on Tuesday.
Slovakia will welcome any possibility of natural gas supply at an acceptable price for industry and households. Naftogaz is a Ukrainian state-owned oil and gas company. Oil and gas from Russia flows to Slovakia through it. However, its contract with the Russian Gazprom for the supply of gas to the EU through the territory of Ukraine lasts only until the end of this year.
"For Slovakia but also other neighbouring countries, it is important to preserve the continual deliveries of gas and oil, including the transit of Russian gas even after 2024," underlined Ziga.
