Russian oil imports to Czechia increase slightly year-on-year

Imports of Russian oil from the Druzhba pipeline to Czechia rose slightly last year, Czech Television reports. The Russian share of total oil imports to Czechia was 58 percent, an increase of about two percentage points year-on-year. The rest was oil from the German IKL pipeline, which connects to the Italian TAL pipeline.

The Czech state oil company Mero is planning to expand the TAL pipeline, which should allow Czechia to become completely independent of Russian oil.
