"Concerning relations with Croatia, that country is part of the accession negotiations and is most advanced in terms of accepting the Community acquis, at the same time participating in all the activities of the Energy Community. Because of its more advanced stage in respect of the acquis, Croatia is also more integrated into the EU energy market and is leading a couple of projects.
Macedonia is part of the Energy Community and is also advancing with implementation of the acquis. Its advancement in this respect means that it is a leader in the region.
Concerning Kosovo, we are working with UNMIG and supporting all the activities there. I know there are always certain difficulties with payments and power supplies, but until now we have managed to resolve these issues and people have received the energy supplies they need.
Concerning the Italy-Russia pipeline South Stream, I never saw this as a replacement for Nabucco. Nabucco is advancing well, as has been reported in the Council. I have also received first notifications from the regulators concerning the third-party access issue, and Nabucco is looking for new supply sources – Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Egypt and in time Iran.
The issue of South Stream is very clear-cut. It is a supply source of Russian gas. It is a project that at this stage is undergoing a feasibility study that will be performed jointly by ENI and Gazprom. We must wait and see how the project develops. It definitely gives the European Union a new supply route and strengthens security of supply, because more pipelines towards the EU mean more security of supply, but it is not replacing Nabucco.
Concerning the praise from President Putin, I have no particular comment to make."@en1
