PGNiG begins talks with Gazprom over securing safety of gas supplies

PGNiG wants to meet Gazprom to present them with an estimate of costs it has borne stemming from halts in contracted supplies. "We still have not received any reply. We will demand guarantees to ensure the continuity of our national gas supplies, even in crisis situations," said PGNiG president Marek Kossowski. The danger of a repetition of such incidents seems high, as Gazprom is still in talks with President Łukaszenko of Belarus. Poland, lacking alternative sources of gas, has solely moral arguments to rely on. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 8) M.K.
