On Thursday, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Konrad Szymanski said the Baltic Pipe could be another "window" to the Poland's gas system, allowing to get rid of dependence from Russian gas.
In 2016, a Polish government representative for the development of the strategic energy infrastructure Piotr Naimski said Poland was unlikely to extend the long-term contracts with Moscow after 2022 when the contract expires.
The Baltic Pipe is the joint project of Poland, Denmark and Norway.
