Kopacz: Gas pipeline will connect Poland and Czech Republic

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz has signed an agreement with Czech's Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, according to which Poland and the Czech Republic will build a gas pipeline linking both countries. Kopacz said that appropriate application will be filed with the European Commission in 2016.

"We will build a gas pipeline between the Czech Republic and Poland. We want to construct it using mainly European funds. We will strive to prepare the entire documentation and to file an appropriate application with the European Commission in 2016," said Kopacz.

A memorandum of cooperation between the two countries on gas issues was signed earlier by deputy Minister of the Economy Tomasz Tomczykiewicz and Czech's deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Pavel Solc.
