Gazprom says supplies to Europe will not be disrupted
A Gazprom official said the company will continue to deliver Europe-bound natural gas via Belarus even if no contract is signed with Minsk, RIA Novosti reported the same day. "All volumes of gas on our export contracts will be delivered to the Belarusian border on January 1 even if we sign no contract with Belarus," said Aleksandr Medvedev, head of Gazeksport. "I do not want to forecast Belarus's behavior in this case." Medvedev added that the issues of gas transit via Belarus will not be linked to gas supplies to that country. "Transit and supplies issues are not and will not be linked," he said. Asked what the company would do if Belarus taps gas when no contract is signed, Medvedev said there are international organizations that Gazprom can turn to. BW // Copyright (c) 2005. RFE/RL, Inc.
