/ world today news/ “Athens agrees that the South Stream project should be resumed and supports this idea”, said the Greek ambassador to Russia Danai-Magdalini Koumanak.
“If the representative of the EU in Moscow, Vigaudas Usackas, believes that it is possible, I can only agree. Greece welcomes the construction of the gas pipeline on its territory, as it will contribute to the diversification of gas supplies and energy security”, she said in an interview with “Interfax”.
According to her, Greece actively supports the idea of ”South Stream”, the participation in the schemes that will ensure connection or the creation of new pipelines in the region.
She added that Athens considers the “Poseidon” project effective for supplying Russian gas along the bottom of the Ionian Sea to Europe through third countries. “I think Poseidon is a good project that can deliver gas to southern Italy. It can be really effective in the southern part of the EU,” Kumanak said.
