Europe-wide solution to energy prices needed, agree Fiala and Scholz

Czech Prime Minsiter Petr Fiala and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz agreed in Prague on Monday that a Europe-wide solution to the issue of energy prices had to be found. The two leaders were speaking to the media following a two-hour meeting.

Mr. Scholz said that present electricity prices were unjust because the cost of production was not so high, adding that structural change was needed.

Mr. Fiala reiterated that Czechia wished to be involved in the development of a European energy infrastructure and to acquire capacity in natural gas terminals that Germany plans to build.
