Bezpieczeństwo gazowe Słowacji. Perspektywy i bariery dywersyfikacji
Gas security of Slovakia. Future Outlook and Barriers of Diversification

Summary/Abstract: After the gas crisis in 2009 Slovakia tried to diversify the sources and directions of gas supply. The Slovak authorities are aware that its position as a transit country grows less and less; this country is particularly important for transit of Russian gas, passing over Ukraine. Therefore, it is important to expand the infrastructural connections linking Slovakia with other Central European countries, also as part of the North-South Corridor project. According to the analysis neither now nor in the foreseeable future there is a country that could replace Russia as the most important gas importer. If the volumes of natural gas sent through Slovakia are significantly reduced this may lead to instability of gas supply to this country.
