Polish president promoting Baku-Odessa-Brodi-Gdansk oil supply project

The Polish President, during a recent visit in Azerbaijan, supported the idea of realizing the proposed Odessa-Brodi-Gdansk oil pipeline. It looks like Azeri side is also interested in this direction. The Polish President highlighted his country’s interest to secure its energy supply through additional routes which will be beneficial for the EU as well. Komorovsky stressed upon the fact that Azeri oil has already reached Czech Republic and it is very close to Polish borders so some steps should be taken to further facilitate Azeri oil reaching EU countries. This route was very intensively promoted by the late Polish president Katchinsky. He considered that diversification of oil supply to Europe would support further energy security.
