Austria does not intend to withdraw from Nord Stream 2
Vienna does not see any economic reason to change its position on continuing cooperation within the Nord Stream 2 project.
This was stated by Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen at a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin following negotiations in Sochi, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Austria has no intention of withdrawing from the Nord Stream 2 project, OMV - this is an Austrian gas concern - they definitely do not have such an intention, they have invested a lot of money in this second gas transit opportunity. Of course, we will stay with this.
If American gas were cheaper than Russian or Siberian gas, then perhaps the ratios would somehow change, but the way it is now, what sources the United States has, there is no economic reason to change its position,” said the Austrian President .
