After the investment in Serbia, expectations of the Macedonian
government that the Russian oil company Gazprom will enter the
Macedonian market are growing. The company will be perceived as a
serious partner in the development of the Macedonian gas pipeline
system. Macedonian finance minister Zoran Stavreski confirmed that
Gazprom will participate in the gas pipeline construction.
"Based on the determined gas pipeline project of the Macedonian
government, there is a clear interest in cooperation with Gazprom. In
this regard, I re-affirm our willingness to close the clearing debt with
the Russian Federation through the gas pipeline installation project
and I expect full support of Gazprom," Stavreski said. Closing of the
debt worth USD 60 million is expected in two months.
