4.2.8 SLOVAKIA (SK)
Taking into account the position of Slovakia on the gas route from Russia, it is
obvious that the main supply corridor enters the country at the UA/SK border (at the
figure marked SK1). In the event of a Ukrainian supply disruption, a reverse flow
capability starts to play an important role for supplying Slovakia. Other supply
corridors, in case of a supply disruption through Ukraine, are through the Czech
Republic (marked SK2), Austria (marked SK3), and Hungary (marked SK4). In
2019 and 2021, the commissioning of cross-border projects with Poland and
Hungary is planned.
