The fight against Gazprom’s monopoly on the European gas market requires real solutions, President of Lithuania, Dalia Grybauskaite, said during a meeting with Vice-President of the European Commission on energy union, Maroš Šefčovič.




“The fight against a non-transparent monopoly of Gazprom on the European gas market requires not only symbolic steps, but real solutions. The EU should not have difference in gas prices based on geopolitical motives”, Dalia Grybauskaite said.

The Baltic States and Poland traditionally declare some kind of dependence on Russian gas, and Lithuania has even refused a long-term contract with Gazprom. However, having bought gas at the company’s auction in spring of 2016, Lithuanian companies appealed to Gazprom with an offer to return to medium-term contracts, Deputy Chairman of Gazprom, Alexander Medvedev, noted.
