BERLIN (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th January, 2019) Nord Stream 2 is not exclusively a project of Germany and Russia, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas reiterated on Thursday, brushing off criticism from several Eastern European countries.
"The skepticism of our partners from Central Eastern Europe is great, and discussions around the Nord Stream 2 confirm this. We take their concerns seriously.
But this does not change anything in our position that the Nord Stream -2 is not exclusively the German-Russian project. We tellabout this to critics of this project in Europe, as well as in Washington," Maas said addressing a meeting of the German Committee on Eastern European Economic Relations.
The minister added that "issues of European energy policy should be resolved in Europe, not in the United States."
