BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 14. We have started negotiations with Albania to ensure gas exports in the future, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said at a joint press conference with Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Trend reports.
"We have started negotiations with the Albanian government to establish a gas supply network in Albania and enable gas exports to Albania in the future. At the same time, the Czech Republic, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and other countries are among the countries that have placed orders with us. Of course, the emerging interconnectors in Europe also play a very important role. The more interconnectors there are, the broader our gas export geography in Europe can be. Of course, long-term contracts should be signed. Because we know very well that there is a tendency to go green in Europe, and we are interested in long-term contracts. I do hope that we can reconcile these issues. At the same time, if we take into account the investment in renewable energy in Azerbaijan, the natural gas currently used for the production of electricity can be exported to Europe, so our future exports could be larger than we envisioned," President Ilham Aliyev said.
