May 18, Fineko/abc.az. Slovakia is discussing the conclusion of a long-term contract with Azerbaijan for at least 10 years, ABC.AZ reports, quoting Deputy Prime Minister of Slovakia, Minister of Environment Tomas Taraba.

"Slovakia wants to diversify its energy supplies, and Azerbaijan is a very reliable partner for us. The only question is how to deliver energy resources to Central Europe. In other words, it's not about whether we want to receive your energy resources, but about how to deliver them to Central Europe. We are currently discussing which pipelines can be used and to what extent," he said.
