In particular, we have prepared an initiative to give a joint letter to the EU regarding the danger of the implementation of the project “Northern stream-2″. Unfortunately, there is no clear position among European countries regarding this project. We believe and we are convinced that this project is uneconomic, that it is directed on creation of mechanisms of influence and pressure on the European Union and mechanisms of blackmail”, – said Parubiy.
