Seres meets Gazprom vice-president Alexander Medvedev

A delegation of Gazprom, headed by vice-president Alexander Medvedev, will meet Economy and Trade Minister Codrut Seres today. They will discuss a collaboration of energy projects between the Russian group and Romanian companies. Two of the possible issues on the agenda could be building the natural gas storage facility in Roman – Margineni (Neamt county) and establishing a joint venture to handle deliveries of natural gas on the Romanian market. “We got a letter whereby (Gazprom”s representatives i.e.) were asking several questions about the storage facility in Roman-Margineni. This is probably one of the topics they want to approach. As far as I am concerned, I want to approach the issue of establishing a commercial Romanian-Russian joint venture to deliver natural gas,” the Economy and Trade Minister Codrut Seres stated early in April. The Russian delegation will also conduct talks at the Cotroceni Palace with Theodor Stolojan, the presidential advisor on economic and social issues. ZF
