Czechia offers Slovakia oil supplies via Druzhba pipeline

Czechia has offered Slovakia the possibility of receiving oil supplies through the Druzhba pipeline, Industry and Trade Minister Karel Havlíček (ANO Party) said after talks in Bratislava with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. According to Havlíček, the current technical setup would allow only limited volumes to be sent to Slovakia. Larger deliveries would require technical adjustments to the system. Russian oil supplies to Slovakia via the Druzhba pipeline through Ukraine have been disrupted following January attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Prague says it is ready to help ease the shortfall if conditions allow.
