New details about oil transit via the Druzhba pipeline have become known.
The Czech Republic no longer receives black gold via the southern branch.
The head of the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade, Lukas Vlcek, confirmed this information to journalists, RIA Novosti reports.
The minister confirmed that the Czech authorities are aware of what is happening. He assured that all interested parties are in close contact with each other.
According to Vlček, the country had prepared for such a development in advance. He noted that the Czech Republic currently has enough oil to meet all needs.
As the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade emphasized, in extreme cases he is ready to turn to the Czech government and use state reserves.
It is noted that the country previously received about 58% of all oil through this line.
Representatives of the operator responsible for the Czech part of the pipeline intend to clarify the current situation in the near future and publish an official statement.
